Mad_jaks was talking about finding a nice cross-stitch kit with a picture of one of the pretty, quaint mills she has in her area, which made me realize that I couldn't think of anything in my town that anyone would want to stitch. Or paint. Or...whatever. Sadly, Aloha is one of those towns that grew up along/around a railroad station and it's sorely lacking in manmade prettiness. Lots of pretty trees, hills, streams and such but pretty buildings? Meh....
The only thing we have for a notable landmark, aside from a water tower, is Harvey. He's a giant concrete rabbit in a captain's outfit who presides over the Harvey Marina. Every holiday he holds something different in his outstretched hand, such as a giant valentine heart, a lit up Christmas tree, a pumpkin, etc. I remember him from when I was tiny and he makes a great navigation point for visitors (turn right after the giant rabbit), but I would never cross-stitch him. He's kind of scary.
For anyone curious about the rabbit I see every week, Harvey has his own page over here:

Ah, but for a quaint mill!
