Art & Inspiration America's Strangest Roadside Attractions

How about this guy Between Centralia and Chehalis Washington. I think he was mostly a sign for the store Yardbirds that is at that adress, but it sure caught this idiots attention as roadside stuff. A couple of shots inside too. I tried to ask people if it had any more significance, and all the locals I asked shrugged their shoulders and said, " never noticed it before" or something to that effect. Makes me wonder if they would notice if it was gone?!

Try Kansas.
Ball of Twine - Cawker City
Deepest Hand Dug Well - Greensburg (yes, THAT one)

 

Gotcha speedtool! Thank you for the correction. I haven't been through in about five years, but I stop every time! wasn't the well in the news lately with a tornado or flood? That must be what you mean by Yes, that one.

 

There was a few of them down there, but all but this one are gone.

 

hahaha.....poor Paul Bunyan's fallen on hard times to be taking gigs like this.




.

 

Yeah, Greensburg was almost wiped out by a tornado a few years ago. The town is being rebuilt now.

 

Wow, thats about the last thing a paranoid shizophrenic would want to see!

 

You mean this?............

 

Zillah, Washington teapot gas station. The last time I went by this place was still open and selling fuel

 

Carhenge, Nebraska http://www.clusterballoon.org/nebraska/nebraska.html

 

Stonehenge at Maryhill, Washington, just off the Columbia River across from Biggs Junction, Oregon. The monument was built as a memorial for Klickitat county soldiers who had died in WWI. Soldiers names have been added for every war since.

 

here yu go..

 

This website has quite a few of the things I was looking up:

So easy a caveman can find it??

 

How about this as a strange roadside attraction?

 

ZZford, that is wrong on soooo many levels

 

closed now. last price on the pumps was 1.63 for regular. few people know this was related to the STANDARD OIL or TEAPOT DOME scandal. a couple ****py early a.m. shots from yakima swapmeet run.

 

It was for the Yard Birds store. Yard Birds started as a army surplus store and grew into a kind of all around store. They had other large Yard Birds (really big) at their stores (the original one was closer to Chehalis and is now Sun Birds). The other ones were standing and actually nicer and more detailed.

 

How about the tree out by the Salt Flats in Utah?

 

"Souix City, party of six..."

 

There's a small store/museum inside the store in Chehalis that shows some of the history of the Yard Birds stores. Also, there's a smaller crow on the other side of the building next to their sign

 

Nothing, stay on I90 and visit ME in the Black Hills!

 

oh man lookin at that just made me hungry!! 2 for siox city!

 

haha rich.. i didnt see you beat me to it! we wewre both rong, they give numbers out.. 256 257 for kansas city....

 

Sorry no pics but I always found the big firework and liquor stores on the wyoming border pretty funny.Seems like the perfect combo ( being from Oregon all I can buy in state are glorified sparklers)
