This place just sucks you in after 300+ miles of their billboards.

Feh. No mention of South of the Border? Pedro disapproves.

Very true. Almost as good as the Suicide table in the Delta Saloon in Virginia City, Nevada...

C'mon. You've never heard of South of the Border? The greatest roadside attraction along Interstate 95? The first thing most Yankees ever see of South Carolina?

Classic American tacky at its best. And who can't love a 70-foot-tall neon sombrero?

I will have to pay my respects next time I'm down south. Thanks for the clarification.

Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga Tennessee.

You can see Rock City in the morning and Ruby Falls in the afternoon.

For a day trip it is pretty cool.

I have vivid memories of this place, or one very similar to it. Terrifying, really.

Don't know about better. It is a lot less expensive!
