That was an entertaining excursion. While reading up on Wall Drug, Rock City, and South of the Border, I found the Wikipedia entry on tourist traps. I'm proud, as an American, that I have been to seven of the U.S. ones and two of the English ones. Our country is uniquely disposed towards the likes of P.T. Barnum. :D

The link to Breezewood, Pennsylvania, was especially fun because it has a link to a list of freeway gaps in the Interstate Highway system. It turns out that I've been on two of four actual interrupted freeways, four out of six at grade sections, and three out of eight drawbridges.
