Kitsa Their "Famous Criminals" museum has had dust on the displays since I was a little girl. I remember being amazed to go back at around 23 and see that they still hadn't been cleaned.

Whenever we really appreciate something, we tend to make a giant oversized model of it.

For me, seeing as I haven't been a lot of places, would have to go to Niagara Falls. Some of the stuff there is very cheesy.

Kitsa Wow, you're right.

McClain Rog, I was reading through your story when I noticed something wild in this photo:


That boy has his hand up his father's ass. It's up there, man.

pac-man You'd scowl if you heard it in Gatlinburg. BTW, I'm currently is Las Vegas, and while it's far from the cheesiest place I've ever gone on vacation, I definitely wish I was here back when the mob ran the place.

EDIT: Sin City is by no means cheesy, but it's like a big ass amusement park. Which is cool on the one hand, because it's tailor made for having fun, but sucks on the other because I hate lines, children, and paying too much for simple shit. Now that I think about it, I've never been on an out-and-out cheesy vacation. But the shittiest stop/part of a vacation/roadside attraction was a roadside reptile farm back when I was a kid. It wasn't our destination, but from the road it seemed as if it were worth a look. Turned out that most of the animals were rescued, so my family and I got to see jacked-up snakes, scarred lizards, and retired lab monkeys. Thank god they didn't have a petting zoo.

I was probably at that particular shop myself. I wasn't 18 yet so I wasn't allowed to sample the hottest of the sauces

Gatlinburg was pretty gay though. They kept playing "Thriller" in the Hard Rock Cafe

Otto Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Though the place is really loosing its cheesy run-down charm, especially since they tore down the Pavillion amusement park.

Kitsa Yes, but do you have the giant foam Jesus? ;P

J. Tithonus Pednaud As I am from a city that boasts the largest Nickel in the world as well as the largest freestanding smoke stack, I've always made it a habit - wherever I go -to visit giant roadside attractions. North of Sudbury is a Giant Hitchhiking Sasquatch (Vermillion Bay) and a UFO(Moonbeam), a giant perogi as well as a giant polar bear are around here as well. I think the strangest and most impressive big thing I've ever seen was a giant sausage in Alberta. I went out of my way to see it and the juvenile jokes it inspired made it well worth the trip.

I think in my travels across Canada, I've stopped at at least 300 - 400 giant roadside attractions. In the States, I tend to stop off at historic diners and every roadside museum I see.

I've actually gone out of my way several times just to see some big cheesy thing.

Kitsa I was at Atlantic City once and two of those chair-pusher guys got in a fight. It was about the only awesome thing that happened there.
Aug 12th, 2008 07:28 PM
Fathom Zero I've never been anywhere nearly as depressing as Atlantic City.

Kitsa Next month I'm going to the Jelly Belly factory. Word is that they have a tram with jellybean-shaped cars and that the candy is made in giant cement-mixer looking things.

I gots to see that shit.

corpexec44 Virginia Beach is a shithole.....

Colonel Flagg South of the Border. It was pretty gross when I was there, in the mid-70's.

Niagara Falls varies in awesomeness. If you go to the American side, it sucks. You've got, like, a park and Nabisco.

We're working on it. There's a boat you can take behind the falls now. And a whole new shipment of homeless people.

Ozzman313 DollyWood was actually great!
Gatlinburg was ehh...
Aug 9th, 2008 01:40 PM
Tadao It was a Cheesy joke Kitsa.

Kitsa Where the hell did you go in Wisconsin? I lived in the Milwaukee area for a while and hated it, but the Madison area is awesome.

Mockery Pigeon Forge is definitely up there... we stopped there on our big cross country road trip. You can see some photos of it on this page:

Actually, pretty much everywhere we went on that road trip was amusingly cheesy in some way or another. Roswell... the Dr. Pepper museum... Clines Corners... etc, etc.
