Heisig story:

Think of all the pavilions at County Fairs or World Expos you have wandered into or seen advertised in the media, and you will no doubt see rising up among them the towering tall crowned nail (the crown being a revolving restaurant) - that architectural monstrosity that has become a symbol of science and technology at such events.

Koohii stories:

1) [Henke] 15-10-2007(236): The tallest Pavilion crowns the street.

2) [Istvan] 13-6-2007(143): The Pavillion on crown street is the tallest I have ever seen.

3) [ziggr] 21-8-2006(44): The upper pavilion of Tokyo Tower is very tall. Godzilla attacks Tokyo Tower, wears the upper pavilion of Tokyo Tower as a crown, and then uses the rest of the tower as a spike to skewer some other monster. Avoid pagoda (#254 塔): pagodas are for fitting flowers above the ground, pavilions are from Tokyo Tower to wear as a crown.

4) [yLaguardia] 26-10-2012(16): The king's PAVILION is easy to notice. It's the TALL one with a CROWN nailed at the entrance…

5) [vinniram] 9-4-2010(9): The tall PAVILION crowns the street.
