Next Exit: A History of Roadside Attractions
发布时间 2021-05-17 12:00:03 来源
摘要
At countless stops along the old highways, travelers could find all manner of attractions like the “World’s Largest Ball of Paint,” “Cadillac Ranch,” and “The Thing,” giving birth to an entire culture of kitsch, monuments to the mammoth, and shrines to the strange. The history of these roadside attractions - or less charitably, tourist traps - predates even the highways they dotted. The History Guy remembers the forgotten history of Roadside Attractions.
