    In case you didn't know, a manhole located on the corner of Bank Street and Sixth Street in the mining town of Wallace, Idaho is the Center of the Universe.

    "In 2004, the mayor declared the town to be the center of the universe. Today, a manhole cover represents the exact spot of the Center of the Universe, and it is celebrated yearly by the citizens of Wallace. The entire town of Wallace is on the National Register of Historic Places, and it has the notable distinction of being officially declared the Center of the Universe. Two pristine mountains, Silver Mountain and Lookout Mountain, are both within 10 miles of Wallace." Atlas Obscura
