The world’s largest roadside attractions – sort of
July 16th, 2009 | photography | 2 Comments
The New York Daily News web site recently ran a photo gallery featured a bunch (35 of 50) of my Flickr photos. They didn’t do much reasearch apparently, as many of the items they included are not actually the world’s largest. However it was fun to see some interest being paid to these roadside giants.
For even more huge-ness, I have a number of other Flickr photo sets devoted to roadside attractions:
- Big Things – Chronicling decades of family road trips to capture these fiberglass marvels.
- World’s Biggest – A more “officially” sanctioned collection of roadside giants
- World’s Largest Twine Ball – The centerpiece of Darwin, Minnesota
- F.A.S.T Corp. – Makers of Big Things – Fiberglass Animals, Shapes & Trademarks Corp., or simply FAST, has been creating roadside titans since 1983. Their headquarters in Sparta, Wisconsin features acres of fiberglass molds and statues in various stages of completion.
- Paul Bunyan Land – Located in Brainerd, Minnesota and home to the Worlds Largest Talking animated Man.
