The Franklinton Slingshot

A massive, 20-foot-tall, 6,000-pound steel slingshot sculpture that looks like a giant toy dropped by a mischievous titan along the Scioto River.

The move: Pose inside the slingshot's pouch for a hilarious photo, then walk along the Scioto Greenway Trail to grab a craft beer in the nearby arts district.
