On July 12, 1933, the first three-wheeled, multi-directional Dymaxion car rolled off the factory floor at this location. Housed in the former factory building of the Locomobile company, the Dymaxion car was developed by Buckminster Fuller as an addition to his line of Dymaxion brand products developed to improve all of humanity's living conditions.

The Dymaxion car could carry 11 passengers and reached a documented speed of 90 mph. The rear wheel (of the three-wheeled car) powered and steered the vehicle, a departure from contemporary design.

At the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, an accident with the Dymaxion car damaged the first prototype badly, killing the driver, and seriously injuring the two passengers; one of whom was William Sempill, aviation pioneer and Japanese spy.

Investors backed out, partially out of fears that the new, efficient and economical car would eliminate current vehicle distribution channels and second-hand markets.

In the middling comedy Yes Man, Carl (Jim Carrey) and Allison (Zooey Deschanel) take a spontaneous trip to Lincoln, NE. At one point, they attend a University of Nebraska Cornhuskers football game at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.

Although the aerial crowd shots of Memorial Stadium (Lincoln) are accurate, the close-ups were shot with Carrey, Deschanel and over 700 extras at L.A.’s Memorial Coliseum. Carrey, dressed as a Cornhusker, entertained the extras by attempting a few punts in the empty stadium.

Memorial Stadium (Lincoln) was dedicated on October 20, 1923, and is so named for the 3,839 Nebraskans who died in World War II, the 225 in Korea, and the 422 in Vietnam.

The stadium holds an ongoing NCAA record of 317 consecutive sellouts, which began in 1962. On game day, Memorial Stadium is the third largest city in Nebraska with a population of around 87,000 (only Omaha and Lincoln are larger).

Park City, UT is the home to the Sundance Film Festival. The Egyptian Theater is the largest theater in town, modeled after the same-named theater in Hollywood. Sex, Lies, and Videotape and Reservoir Dogs (and countless other independent films) secured their financial futures at this theater.

Robert Redford originally wanted to open up a ski resort near Park City with the land he had purchased. However, the elevation is below the snow line, so he needed to come up with another scheme. The Sundance (named after his character in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) empire was born.
