I remember Rex on TV but not his monument (I lived about 25 miles out of town).

I remember seeing it on road trips to relatives’ houses. Sure was a huge monstrosity plopped down right in the middle of a residential area.

It’s funny, all my years in OH I pretty much staying in the NW corner and hardly ever traveled outside of it. Nowadays after moving away I think nothing of going 100 miles for pretty trivial reasons. Most of the people I went to school live still live in that same area
