Roadside Americana takes you on an armchair tour of some of the gaudiest, kitschiest, and weirdest wonders in the United States and Canada.
• The book explains the history of the roadside attraction and gives you an up-close look at hundreds of fascinating examples, including:
Solomon s Castle in Ona, Florida, a shiny 10,000-square-foot private residence and bed and breakfast constructed from recycled materials in the style of a mediaeval castle
Wheel, a 40-foot turtle in Dunseith, North Dakota, made from 2,000 tire rims.
• The Mitchell Corn Palace, a turreted palace in Mitchell, South Dakota, decorated with thousands of bushels of corn and other grains.
• The world's largest red wagon, Spokane Washington's 12-foot-high, 27-foot-long Radio Flyer that can hold 300 children
Elbe, Washington s Hobo Inn, a collection of seven old cabooses converted into motel rooms.
• If you want to get a good look at the crazy and zany side of America, Roadside Americana is the perfect book for you.
"Full color Pictures of the Freaky Americana! – I've always been a fan of roadside wackiness and this fit the bill. I believe the contents were of active, accessible strangeness. I did have some minor complaints on the makeup of the book. There were things in the descriptions that were not shown, that I would have liked to have seen. If you like this kind of thing, you will like this book."
