Dude, you should've gone to Howard's Knob, you could've seen the remnants of the big concrete footers that are all that remain of the mega-normous windmill that existed briefly up there in the late 70s. The frequency of the blades' rotation was such that it apparently rattled windows all 'round, and thus it only lasted a short while: wikipedia article
Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

I still want to know who Howard was, and how his knob got to have a park named after it.
