[ZIP Code™ Lookup | USPS](https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction_input) is a US Postal Service search engine that determines an address’s Zip+4 code. The USPS does not recognize the hyphen in the city name of Winston-Salem NC. A test address of 501 S Poplar St., Winston-Salem NC returns the Zip +4 code of 27101-5238. It also returns the city as Winston Salem, not Winston-Salem - without the hyphen. Ironically, the sign hanging on the USPS location in downtown Winston-Salem has a hyphen. The sign reads “United States Postal Service, Winston-Salem, NC.” ---

The roof garden of the Metropolitan Museum of Art offers “spectacular” views of the Manhattan skyline from a vantage point high above Central Park. The views have been described as “the best in Manhattan.” Art critics have been known to complain that the view “distracts” from the art on exhibition. New York Times art critic Ken Johnson complains that the “breathtaking, panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline” creates “an inhospitable site for sculpture” that “discourages careful, contemplative looking.” Writer Mindy Aloff describes the roof garden as "the loveliest airborne space I know of in New York. ---

The Philippine history dioramas have been a popular attraction at the Ayala Museum in Makati, Metro Manila, since 1973. Carved by artisans from Paete, Laguna, the dioramas are an achievement in woodcarving as well as in miniature painting and decoration. They depict sixty major events and themes in history, from prehistoric Philippines to the recognition of Philippine independence by the United States in 1946. (This was originally meant to play off post #31764 but it also works using “Metro Manila” and “Mets” since both “Metro” and the name “Mets” are short for “Metropolitan/s”) ---

It involved, among other things, blasting and hauling away half of a mountain and removing 100 foot trees. As the story goes, the Chief of Naval Operations at that time named the base after Construction Unit Battalion 1 (or CUB1). I’m unable to confirm. ---

A jaguar-shaped fountain perched over the water slide splashes water at guests as they slide down. ---
