| RoadSideAmerica |
RoadsideAmerica.com is a caramel-coated-nutbag-full of odd and hilarious travel destinations -- over 7,000 places -- ready for exploration.
Since our first book, Roadside America, introduced readers to the world of offbeat tourist attractions 20 years ago, we (authors and road trip know-it-alls Doug Kirby, Ken Smith, Mike Wilkins) haven't slowed down. In fact, we're speeding up! Or maybe it's just a bad optical illusion...
Planning Your Own Road Trips
Site visitors often tell us our write-ups help them plan their own trips. We provide directions to attractions and even maps when available; otherwise, just drive to the town and ask a local. It's more fun that way.
We list some attraction hours and admission prices, but be wary -- these change frequently at many offbeat places.
Hours are sometimes a crap shoot. Graveyards are open all the time; but lone fanatical collectors may be off digging up petrified leeches, or getting their medication when you arrive. You take your chances. Call ahead if you're going way out of your way.
For reasons that grow hazier with time, we produced a thicker, more depraved sequel, New Roadside America. The books chronicled tourist attractions throughout the continental United States -- from the World's Largest Twine Ball to an obscure monument to a patriotic pig.
After a series of Hypertours in the early 1990s, the Internet found us (or vice versa). In 1994, we guided AOL and Hotwired users on the web's first real-time, coast-to-coast "virtual vacation" -- a Hypertour from California to New York.
We launched roadsideamerica.com in 1996, and then, spurning dotcom IPO offers and "lucrative" TV deals, clambered back into our cars and drove off. There were places to see, rumors to investigate, Muffler Men to hunt down. Fans joined in with tips and photos and the site grew like mental kudzu, too fun to stop. And it continues....
