[edit] Obelisk ?

Q. Is the San Jacinto Monument an obelisk, or is the top too ornate compared to a simple pyramid for it to be so classified? DFH 19:07, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Coordinates

The coordinates for The San Jacinto Monument have been rounded and, as a result, are off. The listed coordinates are about 1 mile WNW in the shipping channel. The actual coordinates are N 29° 44.721 W 095° 04.983 (UTM: 15R E 298561 N 3292385). Since I do not have the ability to change them I am leaving this message.

[edit] Is It or Isn't it?

The first paragraph is rather confusing -- is the monument the tallest or is it not? Is the Saint Louis Arch the tallest? What is the inetnt of this mishmash of sentences?
