My mistake and the Mothman

I haven’t been using this space to share my truly absurd fascination with roadside attractions and all things ridiculous. Fortunately for me, this husband understands how much of a weirdo he married. The first 2 tried to think I was not entranced by the ridiculous and ignored my need for the absurd.

Chuck took me to see the Mothman Museum.

And the Winston-Salem Shell station.

There have been others. Not necessarily with this man. But…. I have a history. My friend, Patti, had me checking that app as we roadtripped to Nashville, IN and it was glorious.

So. I’m adding a new Category to this collection of random thoughts. Partly inspired by my friend, Sarah‘s, realizing that I have a RoadsideAmerica facination. Partly because why not?

(And, O Sweet Gzus, I just discovered the Roadside America Museum in Hillsboro, TX.)

I think I’ll go see what pictures I have to share….

I adore the fact that you like the ridiculous and absurd. Life is too short NOT to. I look forward to seeing all the photos you chose to share and hear all the details. Do they have many Roadside America structures? The one in the photo above looks as if it is welded together.. That is pretty cool.

  There are enough of them around to be entertaining. But, we’re not cluttered with them.
  
  I’m not sure how that Mothman sculpture was created. It IS metal. the story of the Mothman of West Virginia is an odd one and the little museum was really worth the stop. The sculpture is in the road to the right of it and I think everyone that goes by stops to get a photo of it. I’ve seen a picture of a man proposing to his sweetheart in front of it.
