Wallace Idaho, Center of the Universe.
A while back I said I would blog about this, so now is the time...
Wallace, Idaho is the center of the Universe. That’s a fact. It’s stamped on a manhole cover in the middle of Downtown Wallace. Apparently the discovery of Wallace being the center of the Universe happened during a visit by the EPA to some of the abandoned mines surrounding the town. The EPA claimed the sites were polluted. The town folks said that was not the case. The EPA said unless the town folks could prove the abandoned mines were not polluted, the EPA declared the mines toxic waste sites. The town folks said that according to that logic, Wallace, Idaho was the center of the Universe unless the EPA could prove it wasn’t. Wallace, Idaho is the Center of the Universe. This fact is celebrated annually by the good citizens of Wallace on the third Saturday of September.
