JohnRogers Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) What's with the ears of corn? I could be wrong, but my guess would be because of all of the corn fields around Columbus. Also there is a field of giant concrete ears of corn in suburban Dublin - http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/952720 minutes/17 miles from downtown Columbus. I say we have a winner.

It looks like it might be a lady wearing a crown which would fit in with our nickname of "The queen city". That's my best guess on what that might be. Watch it turn out to be something obvious we should have known about. Edited June 12, 2015 by J2112YYZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for solving that mystery. Neither my brother or I are library/museum kind of people, so that will explain why we didn't know what it was. What an odd thing for them to put in the video. I've lived here my whole life and have never seen that before or heard people talk about it. Looking at the map, it's not that far from where I live, I can get there easily. It's just I never go into the west side of the city, so that might explain why I didn't know what it was.
