What is a Tourist Attraction?

You might think that an attraction was a theme park, a museum, a beachfront, a wildlife sanctuary or a
castle. It could be a shopping outlet site, a gallery or an outstanding view. So what about a hole? Not just any hole but a rather large one. This hole, 109 feet deep and 32 feet wide, is in Greensburg, Kansas in the US, and is being promoted as a tourist attraction and I am grateful to the Wall Street Journal & Travelmole for letting me know. It is slightly more than a hole. It is a hand dug well (dug in 1887) so it has water in it. But it isn’t used as a well although it is called The Big Well. The water is rather dirty. And it hasn’t been used as a well for quite some time.
