Kerry Park looked just as beautiful as ever, with the Space Needle sticking out above the other buildings like a raised fist. It wasn’t the first time I had ever seen it, of course, but it certainly didn’t lose its charm. For one thing, the building was an architectural marvel and was far ahead of its time when it was completed in late 1961. For example, it can apparently withstand earthquakes of up to nine magnitudes. They also found a mammoth’s tooth while building it. My only real complaint against the Needle is the prices of their restaurants; SkyCity, for example, is ridiculously priced, with some meals costing forty dollars! Everything is cheap when you’re rich…
“It’s so beautiful, isn’t it?” my mother asked emotionally.
“Yes, it’s almost like it’s from a dream,” I said in awe.
