Oddities Off the Interstate

Who needs the Grand Canyon or Kitty Hawk? A true road trip, you may opine, is not complete without a visit to the Giant Chair With Horse in Denver Colorado. In that case you need to visit Roadside America, at http://www.roadsideamerica.com/ , which catalogs more offbeat tourist destinations.

You can find tourist destinations through Feed The Tree, the Roadside America tips database. You may search by keyword (attraction or description), town, or state. A attraction keyword search for Giant found 218 results. Results come five at a time; in this case the first five results are the Giant Igloo, the Giant Pocket Knives, Giant Watermelon, Giant Pink Bunny, and Giant Budweiser Beer Can. Search results include city and state, a description of the attraction, the date it was added, and in many cases a picture of the attraction. Not all entries are resource listings; sometimes you'll find news items (especially if you search by description.) Some resources are noted multiple times (such as the Giant Boy With Tractor in Goodyear, AZ.)

In addition to the search engine, the site also offers a Site of the Week, New Listings, a monthly newsletter/zine/thingy, tourism news, and the most recent search engine additions. I'm still amazed by Giant Boy with Tractor.
