Memphis

There are things in this world that people everywhere will tell you that you need to see.  Sites like the Great Pyramid, the Great Wall of China or the Statue of Liberty all fit this list and when people go on vacation in the areas where these famous landmarks are located, they almost always take some time to stop by and have a look.  But what happens to all those lesser places of touristy fun?  Well, they end up on a lesser seen list, that of the roadside attraction.

These are the places that people don’t usually plan to go to, just stumbling into them because they happen to be on their way from one place to another and these sites end up somewhere in the middle.  Or perhaps they turn off the highway to get gas and realize there there’s something nearby that the locals are raving about?  Whatever people’s reasons, the roadside attraction is a tourist destination all its own and they generally cater to more unique tastes of what happens to be entertaining or not.  Here, I’ve put together a list of six interesting places that you may want to stop by if you happen to be in the neighborhood, even if it’s just to rest your sore backside after a long day of driving to somewhere more important.
