[edit] Question
Unless I'm mistaken, isn't the large grain elevator near the salt mine (southwest of the airport) the second-largest in the world? I remember hearing somewhere that it was once the largest, but a Russian elevator was built to surpass it back during the Cold War (when both cultures were doing all manner of flamboyant things to prove their culture was more fit to rule the world). Also, I have a friend who works for the Salt Mine museum that recently opened, who tells me that the original prints of many famous movies, such as Gone With the Wind, are stored in a special section of the mines. 129.237.90.24 21:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh, never mind. I just wasn't paying attention. Disregard all of that.
[edit] Hutch???=
I've heard "Hutch" used as a nickname for the town many times, on NPR just the other day. Is that worth noting as a nickname? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.237.147.59 (talk) 16:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
