          Been many times, but the first time I saw it, I nearly caused a school bus crash.

          My 2nd grade class was on a field trip to the Cincinnati Zoo. As we came up the interstate, my Mom told me to look at the window. We came over a rise, and there it was...THE HALL OF JUSTICE!!! I screamed out that name, and every single kid came running over to that side of the bus. I swear we about tipped it over.

          My mom went to Cinci a lot as a kid, and even worked there for a time, so she knew they'd based the HOJ off the Union Terminal. She was one cool lady.

                That is so cool, I had no idea that it was based on a real building. It looks great, I'll have to check it out sometime.

                  I used to drive by it daily on the way to work. It's very cool on the inside as well, converted into mini-museums that change by season. It's hard to go by there and not yell out in that deep, Ted Knight voice "Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice."
                  I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                  If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                    Wow! that is just awesome! I have to make it a point to get out there one day. Thanks so much for posting it.

                    I had no idea there was a real building that looked like it!
                    Must have been awesome driving by it everyday.

                        So as the article suggest. We can say DC Superfriends actually saved a historical building. In real life. Cool!!!
