Felicity, California: The Center Of The World

Several places on Earth have been given the nickname 'Center of the World'. One of the serious contender to this title is Felicity, a small town in Imperial County, in California. It's hard to refute the claim, especially when California's Imperial County and the French government both recognize the site as the official center of the world.

To prevent you from further questioning the claim, the town's founder and mayor, Jacques-André Istel, had a 21-foot tall pyramid build on the exact spot marked by a bronze disk set into the pyramid's floor. A visit to the place and standing on the spot will earn you a certificate signed by Mayor Istel himself.
