The Crown Point Vista House


Got this salt shaker on a vacation in Oregon for a mere $16.50. It is ceramic with a rubber plug in the base. For some reason the holes in the top really bug me. I kind of resent dual purpose miniature buildings.



From Wikipedia:

The Crown Point Vista House was built in 1916 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With its marble interior and brass fixtures, some Oregonians at the time derided it as "The $100,000 Outhouse".






The building serves mostly as a public restroom

Trevi Fountain

Trevi Fountain


A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome.
