Pick up a snack or coffee. The Shops at Crystals is an upscale mall with gourmet options, just a short walk from the anchor.

Walk to the sculpture. The Typewriter Eraser, Scale X is a 19-foot stainless steel and fiberglass piece. Position yourself so the sun sets behind it toward the WSW.
16:49
Watch the golden light hit the sculpture as the sun dips below the horizon. This is the peak moment for the view.
17:19
End the evening at Nine Fine Irishmen. This pub, shipped from Ireland, offers energetic crowds and flowing Guinness. It is a nine-minute walk from the sculpture.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW in January. Arrive at the sculpture with enough time to find the best angle before the light fades.
