DOWNTOWN. Locals get a kick out of telling newcomers about "The Free Stamp" in front of City Hall. This public sculpture, a huge stamp-pad spelling out the word "Free," was a gift to the city from the BP Corporation. Tour guides jokingly assert that it's the only free attraction in town. Nowadays, the attraction, designed by noted artist Claes Oldenburg, has become a requisite photo op for visitors to the area.
