Kansas City Public Library, Kansas City, MO
Seeing it from the outside, you would think that this impressive building that looks like a library was of the library itself. However, it’s the face of the city’s Public Library parking garage. Standing tall, you’ll see the bindings of 22 of the most iconic books in pop culture. Because it would be practically impossible for one person to pick 22 books that would satisfy all literary classics fans, the city left it up to the people to vote on their favorites when choosing the options!
Jefferson Memorial, Washington, DC
Situated on the west end of the National Mall, this peaceful and open-air pantheon celebrates the nation’s third president and perhaps its most important founding father. Overlooking the Tidal Basin, this neoclassical memorial was finished in 1947 and is the perfect place to escape the crowded areas of the Mall or take in the Cherry Blossoms if your visiting in spring.
