Bovine Intervention

Sometimes roadside attractions are hard to spot. Not this one.

"Knock Knock."
"Who's there?"
"Interrupting cow."
"Interruptin-?"
"MOO!"

Uncle Sam Update!!

Don from Denver writes:
"Years ago, there used to be a fast food restaurant in Toledo called Uncle Sam's Hamburgers. If memory serves correctly, the Main location was on Broadway near Western in South Toledo. Anyway, if it's the same statue, it stood in front of the restaurant. The gesture I believe is supposed to be a finger saying come here as in come here to eat. After the restaurant went out of business, the statue was moved to a field out along west Airport Highway, I believe sometime in the late 70's or early 80's."

Pigtures

I have ALWAYS wanted to do a story on this cement pig. It stands along U.S. 24 in Waterville. Anyone who's been through town can tell you - it's constantly dressed up in different outfits. That's right. A pig in different outfits. Home-grown Americana at its finest ... with a side of bacon.

A Message From Uncle Sam

You always drive by it when you're heading north on 23 but you may not have looked closely. That's okay because Tony and I looked closely for you. Now Uncle Sam, this local icon may have been referred to as Mr. Lincoln at one time. Let us know if you know any more history regarding this fiberglass giant.

Tiresnakes And Outhouses

Do you know of a Roadside Attraction we've missed? This is a perfect example of someone telling us about an idea and how we follow up on it. If you know of any Roadside Attractions, let us know and we'll check it out. Most likely. Unless it's super dangerous. Like something that involves barbed wire or attack dogs. Tony and I aren't insured for deep lacerations or rabies shots. Even though they say rabies shots don't sting that bad. "They" always say things like that. They.
