On the show โ€” 4 mentions total

They were built by Edward I in 1290, Queen Eleanor died and he wanted to commemorate her and she died up in Nottinghamshire and he commissioned a huge spire cross everywhere her funeral procession stopped on the way from Nottinghamshire to London. He commissioned one of these huge crosses so there were 12 of them, there are only three remaining and outside Charing Cross there's a restored Victorian replica and it looks very cool, like a little space needle, it's got three statues of a woman.

Other times Space Needle came up

  1. Then in 1996, four years later, the US Supreme Court declared it was unconstitutional, so it got kicked out anyway, but they lost all of this kind of investment and all of these shows and stuff just refuse to go to Colorado.
