    		Yes, Tony Bennett left a "heart" in the northwest corner of Union Square in San Francisco. It was part of a fund raising effort for San Francisco General Hospital. It has become a yearly event wherein several artists decorate these fiber glass hearts that are displayed all over the city before being auctioned.

    A U.S. midwestern suburb named after a city in the old country and located outside a city named after a famed explorer boasts a rather unusual work of art intended to remind residents of the area's agricultural heritage. Unfortunately, it's become something of a local joke. Can you tell me what it is and find me an illustration of it?

    An important, if somewhat disturbing, work of American art that was the subject of one of my previous questions is suddenly in danger of being sold away from the city that was its creator's home and that has been its location for over a century. City residents and officials are taking steps to prevent the sale. What is this work, where is it, and who is trying to buy it?
