What Is This?

What’s taller than the Statue of Liberty?

But shorter than the Empire State Building and the Washington Monument?

It’s shaped like the Washington Monument.

It’s the tallest in the world at 42 stories.

That’s not much to go on.

There are only 4 in the world.

And this one is in the United States.

But “you can’t get there from here.”

Still tough, I know.

Boston is 5 hours south.

From the top you can see for 40 miles or more and some say 100 miles.

Any ideas?

It makes gephyrophobiacs like me and acrophobics tremble.

When I found this unusual place online, it intrigued me as much as it turned me off.

??? 

What do you think it is?

 

It’s the TALLEST BRIDGE OBSERVATORY IN THE WORLD!

THE PENOBSCOT NARROWS BRIDGE AND OBSERVATORY

IN MAINE.
