      Me too. I went there when I was 10 or 11, and as a child all I noticed was how incongruous it was with everything. I wasn’t awed by it, and my parents seemed sort of put out with how I didn’t care for it compared to my sisters.

      I’d like to pretend that’s some kind of deep political sentiment, but really I think it’s just aesthetically displeasing if you don’t have a thing for monuments

      I remember one of the massive air compressors they had on display there better than the monument itself…

      Though I am a giant nerd for that sort of thing so it might just be me

        Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!.. What kind of psi? You said massive, was it mobile? Did it have any mods?.. I need to know!

          It was years ago so I don’t remember most details, I can’t remember anything about pressure, it was stationary, single cylinder, with a flywheel at least 6 feet tall and I don’t think it had any modifications made I would have loved to see it running but I don’t think it had been ran in at least a 70 years
