Oh gawd...I got drug through that damn Precious Moments Chapel as a youngster.

Gag me with a frickin spoon and stick a fork in my neck...it'd be more fun.

The Big Well was a favorite of mine. My aunt and uncle lived in Greensburg, and it wasn't a complete visit until I had a trip to the well. Somehow, it probably wouldn't seem as inspiring to me now.

It smells like a French whore in there.

Bucksnort, TN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucksnort,_Tennessee)

If you're driving along I-40 in Tennessee in the middle of the night, make sure to fill up before passing Jackson or Nashville. Trust me.

Bedrock, on the road from Williams, AZ to the Grand Canyon.

Just stop it. I love that place, and it most assuredly does not smell like a French whore. More like mildewy things that were buried under a cornfield for a 100 years, NOT a French whore -- unless she's very old.

Just one of the Treasures of the Steamboat Arabia.

We saw that. when we came upon it, we all looked at each other and said in unison "SSA?"

[Pieces Hit]

I'm also nominating Frontier City AND Bells.
You gotta problem with that?

I got some in VK's hair and so it smelled like a french whore.

Our tour guide was very animated.

Tom Mix Museum in Dewey, OK

Although the Suitcase of Death was kinda neat....

This is the pinnacle of Nebraskan's doing something dumb. The organizers got the money to build the thing, but not the money to get an interstate exit for it. Ergo it's hard to get to, and thus nobody goes.

[King Crimson]

isn't there a Dick Tracy museum in Pawnee?

[opksooner]

The Steamboat Arabia gift shop is situated, unfortunately, next to a cheap-*** phony perfume store. They also have on display in the museum, examples and replicas of the perfumes found as cargo on the Steamboat Arabia. [/info]

[Skysooner]

I used to pass by that hand dug well every time I drove between Wichita and Garden City. I stopped one time and snuck a look in. Kind of pointless to have built this really.

We saw that. when we came upon it, we all looked at each other and said in unison "SSA?"We also said "Is that what you get when you cross Froz with SSA?"

I've still never been there.

Someday.
