Been to Metropolis?

Metropolis, IL is there! https://www.google.com/maps/place/Metropolis,+IL/@37.1561938,-88.7586576,13z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x887a06e4e57107b7:0x3f21b2db51d41bec!8m2!3d37.1511655!4d-88.7319979 I can say that I have taken my picture several times in front of the Superman statue in the town center. As a kid, living in Chicagoland, I always wanted to go to Metropolis because it was mentioned (in the Superman Treasury Edition C-31, I believe) as the location of the Superman Theme Park! (Never completed, I guess.) BUT, there is this statue. AND, there's a comic book store on the town square. Last time I was there, there was an ice cream store, too. Driving with kids, driving with adults, this is a "small fun" place to stop and take a picture.
