"Bruco" = Italian for Caterpillar

Recognize this guy? If so, you've probably made the trek to Austin a few times ;o) This funky building off I35 that begs for a grin and impromtu photo opp, is best known as Bruco (Italian for caterpillar). Bruco is where all the magic happens at the Monolithic Dome Research Center in downtown Italy, Texas. Just turn left at the Alien Space Ship restaurant, which is still for rent if anyone is interested, and you will find a little road that leads you right up to the dome home community.
