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"
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.
Hello,

The peachoid is in Gaffney, SC - not Spartanburg - as Gaffney-ites/Gaffnians are quick to point out.
Doh! I constantly get that wrong.

I find this kind of hilarious. I have mixed emotions about adopting kids from overseas. But also should the average white couple raise an African American kid?

Check out the movie Orphan from 2009. Very, very creepy.

I just read the article. It's so confusing that I'm wondering if ai wrote that shit.

The answer to your question...no, I don't think so.

My old boss adopted two African American kids. His wife couldn't get pregnant. He's middle eastern and seemed to be doing it right and then he suddenly became a right wing xtian. It was a weird and sudden transformation. His wife was Jewish too and she converted. Just weird. He did seem to really love the kids though so I guess that is the important thing

This is my fault for not logging in more often.

They have an outdoor model train exhibit for kids in our Botanic garden that has little models of US landmarks. They recently added a bunch of random roadside attractions to it, including the Gaffney peach.

Orphan preceded it if the date of the story is correct.

The real takeaway, I think, is that all people with dwarfism are sociopaths and should be hunted down so that normies can live safely.

From my perspective that's most of the people here
