Does all this talk of politics leave your head spinning? Give your
intellect a rest while enjoying the odd and inane offerings at
Roadside America. From the World’s Largest Twine Ball
(here in our home state of Minnesota) to Idaho’s Shoshone Ice Caves
to the Grave of Buster Brown in Hornersville, Missouri, this
hilarious website has over 700 pages of roadside fun. Originally
published as a book in 1986, Roadside America has grown into a
veritable multi-media empire. Authors Doug Kirby, Ken Smith, and
Mike Wilkins published a sequel, the New Roadside America,
in 1992, and later branched out into a series of web-based
‘hypertours’ (webcast roadtrips) before launching this
authoritative online guide to the best of American kitsch culture.
Don’t plan another vacation without consulting this invaluable
resource.
