An observation from my recent road travels: people in every state have a stretch of highway they swear was "the most expensive to build in the country"
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

In Saskatchewan, every damned gravel road is known as “the old highway.”

The biggest landmark west of Atlanta seems to be 'the big chicken' - it's almost impossible to get directions off anyone without them referencing it. I half expect Google Maps to mention it. And don't get me started on how every street inside I-285 is called Peachtree.

FWIW, the big chicken is a KFC with a big frightening looking blocky chicken head with a beak that opens and shuts built into the structure.

Atlanta's use of Peachtree is like an admission of defeat. Yeah, we've got no ideas—Peachtree it all.

On roadtrips, I used to make a point of taking pictures of anything that claimed to be "the world's biggest" whatever that was on the side of the road. Like Spartanburg, SC's peach tower. The sillier the better. That stuff sincerely amused me.

An adjacent county 'boasts' the worlds biggest mailbox but it's not a working mailbox so I dispute that claim. It's a model of a mailbox.

I always wanted to see the worlds biggest peanut (somewhere in GA) but it got damaged in a hurricane a while back. Don't know where the 2nd biggest peanut was located but I'm sure they were celebrating that night.

Anybody who seeks to travel west must go thru it or be consigned to the Twilight Zone.

It's true. Aero Saarinen actually conferred with Serling to make this happen.

Hello,

The peachoid is in Gaffney, SC - not Spartanburg - as Gaffney-ites/Gaffnians are quick to point out.
