Steve’s take

An eighty-foot smiling concrete whale a man built in the seventies as an anniversary gift for his wife, who collected whale figurines. They opened it up as a swimming hole; the swimming's been closed for decades but the whale is still there, still grinning, still on every Route 66 photo album. Donation box. Bring a postcard.
