[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.
