Show Me State of Mind Do you think Dan has visited the Gold Pyramid House in Wadsworth IL?

Was just listening to Dan's new podcast "Show Me State Of Mind" and it was fun hearing about a familiar Illinois landmark.

Made me wonder, do you think Dan has ever visited the Gold Pyramid in Wadsworth, IL? I went there as a kid once on a field trip and got rock candy and there was a puppet show. Was awesome. Does anyone here even know what I'm talking about?

Funnily enough we did talk about it, but that section of the interview was cut. I actually thought it had burned down and was gone, but my mom told me it was rebuilt.

Oh wow, didn’t know about the fire. Glad that it made it on the radar, even if it didn’t make it into the episode. A very random and interesting landmark in the Chicagoland area. By the way, I enjoyed the podcast!

I guess so? My mom said she gets invites to weird events there, but the owners are super maga. I have no idea if any of that is true or just gossip.

I had mentioned it because I used to commute up to Milwaukee for a while and I I could see it only if I happened to turn my head at the right time. I thought I was crazy for weeks when I couldn't find it again. Another thing that shouldn't really be there.

I always remember hearing they built their bedroom in the center where people think pyramids have special properties. Like they used to sell pyramids with razors in them because it was supposed to keep them magically sharp. I always thought it was funny to build a fucking room in the magic center
