Roadsideamerica.com is a website that offers a comprehensive guide to offbeat tourist attractions and unusual destinations in the United States and Canada. The website was created in 1994 by Doug Kirby, Ken Smith, and Mike Wilkins, who were fascinated by the quirky and unusual attractions that dotted the American landscape.
The site features a vast collection of articles, photographs, and reviews of strange and fascinating places to visit, such as giant statues, bizarre museums, eccentric art installations, and other oddities. Visitors to the site can search for attractions by location or by category, such as “biggest, smallest, and tallest” or “weird food and drink.”
There is also a mobile app for users to discover roadside attractions on-the-go, and a user-contributed database for visitors to share their own finds and recommendations. Roadsideamerica.com has become a go-to resource for travelers looking for unique and quirky destinations that go beyond the typical tourist hotspots.
I’m going to share more photos and locations as I encounter them over time. They won’t necessarily be in time sync with where I am at any given time.
The first one is Clown Hamburgers in Haltom City, Texas. It turns out my nephew’s wife, who grew up in the Dallas area, has been here many times during her youth!
