IOWA-- If you're into birds, you want to visit the town of Audubon (pop. 2,382) and see tile mosaic Audubon bird replicas are inlaid in the sidewalks. This is to honor the naturalist for whom the city and county are named.
The whole town's gone to the birds.
KANSAS-- Truckhenge-- Topeka-- created by artist Ron Lessman on his farm. Antique trucks and a bus are placed with either hoods or bumpers pointing skyward in an automotive version of England's Stonehenge.
We have Cadillac Ranch, Bug Ranch and Rabbit Ranch along Route 66 with these cars planted in rows. I guess we should have known it was bound to happen.
MICHIGAN-- Beulah (pop. 363)-- The Cherry Hut has been serving great cherry pie since 1922.
WISCONSIN-- Chili John's Restaurant has been serving legendary chili since 1913 in Green Bay. Just the thing to eat before a Packer game.
Interesting stuff from American Profiles Magazine which spotlights my favorite small-town America. Thanks Folks.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
