Big (Green) Foot: The fiberglass Green Giant statue has feet that take a size 58.

He's green, and he's humongous, standing 55 feet (1,650 cm.) tall. In which city is the 55-foot Green Giant statue (pictured at right) located? See how your geographic wits measure up in our latest "Where in the World?" And thanks to the many readers who participated in our September "Where in the World?" More than 55 percent of Dispatch readers correctly identified Buffalo, N.Y., as the headquarters city of Trico, the world's largest manufacturer of windshield wipers.

Wanted Immediately - Super Sites: For the fourth year in a row, Site Selection is scouring North America and beyond for land tracts measuring 1,000 acres (405 hectares) or more that are intended for industrial development by a single end user. Site Selection's January 2008 issue will feature its Super Sites update, including a comprehensive and informative chart listing multiple data points and contact information. If you have a site that fits those criteria, please send data and contact information to Managing Editor Adam Bruns at adam.bruns@conway.com by Tuesday, Nov. 20.
