In every big city there is some famous place or structure that attracts thousands of tourists everyday. If you went on vactaion and said “I went to Paris” people would say “cool”, or “what was it like!” Now assume you didn’t live in Silicon Valley, if you said “I went to San Jose for vacation” they might say “where is that” or “what is there to see there?” San Jose should have a centerpiece of some kind. Something that would attract tourists from around the world and not just people on bussiness. Here are some examples of centerpieces…

• Paris  -  Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc de Triumph
• San Fransisco  -  Golden Gate Bridge
• Los Angles  -  Hollywood Sign
• New York  -  Empire State Building, Times Square, Statue of Liberty
• Chicago - Sears Tower
• London -  Big Ben, Buckingham Palace
• Seattle  -  Space Neddle
• Rome  - Colosseum, Vatican
• Beijing - Forbidden City
• Washington D.C. -  The White House, Washington Mounument

If San Jose did have a centerpiece what should it be? (Note- It can’t be a tall tower like in New York because of earthquakes and the nearby airport.)
