This website celebrates the remaining examples of roadside architecture dedicated to the reaping of the almighty dollar from the growing motorist culture of the mid 20th century. Everything is here, from the ubiquitous vintage drive-in fast food joints, restored and repurposed Mobilgas, Pure Oil, and Texaco gas stations, to the more bizarre items, such as the world's largest highboy in High Point, NC; the Beer Can House in Houston, TX, made of 39,000 beer cans and countless other pieces of recycleables; and the Dinosaur Land in White Post, VA, with 40 different figures (not all dinosaurs).Tuesday, January 12, 2010
