Filpus Roadgeek - Americana

I was driving up US 401 to check out the new SPUI for I-540 when I saw this large Paul Bunyan looking statue in a field overlooking the work zone. I figure that that kind of road art is endangered, especially that close to the construction of the Interstate. The idea of this page was born then and there.

Paul Bunyan

Update: As of June 25 2007, this Paul Bunyan is no longer out standing in his field. Where'd you go, Paul? (Thanks to Jill Baldwin)

The Original Hollywood Horror Show

One of the weirdest things I've chanced upon is the Original Hollywood Horror Show which is in the middle of the woods on Bass Mountain Road a half mile from NC 87 south of Graham NC. This kind of show would be normal in a tourist trap area, such as Cherokee or Gatlinburg, or even Myrtle Beach, but not in rural Piedmont North Carolina.
