I didn't know until today, while driving down Admiral Place (one of the old alignments of Route 66 in Tulsa), that we were the home to the World Peace Monument! Furthermore, who knew that it was made out of BOWLING BALLS? As I stopped and gazed in awe at this magnificent tribute to harmony in the world, I couldn't help but wonder: What the heck do bowling balls have to do with peace? But hey, anything that tries to bring people together all over the world is just fine with me.
If you wish to contribute your old bowling ball to what I suspect is intended to be an ever-growing heap, the contact information is below.
Here's Jimmy Kimmel's interview with the builder from late last year. This is great! The builder even mentions Route 66!
