Methinks Gary is right: “side entrance to Lakeview museum…”

Central Peoria asks “Isn’t that the “SUNâ€? of the world’s largest Solar System model? Last I heard they were trying to figure out what to do with Pluto which was out in Pekin I think.”

Personally, I preferred the the big sun when it was the main feature on the front of the building. I with they’d have kept it there instead of moving it to the side door that no-one sees.

I wonder how they’re going to re-align the solar system when they move downtown?
