I was asked by MasterCard to be part of their online Priceless Picks campaign. There are lots of interesting places in people’s picks; I chose roadside attractions and of course included some Lincoln Highway sites. Here’s a link to mine, where you’ll find LH mentions of the fun Shoe House in Hallam, Pennsylvania, and souvenir-filled Fort Cody Trading Post in Nebraska. There’s also a photo to click of Peppi’s Diner on the LH in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. Other picks include Wigwam Village motel on Route 66 in Holbrook, Arizona; the crazy Mexican restaurant Casa Bonita in Denver; dinos battling Civil War soldiers at Dinosaur Kingdom in Natural Bridge, Virginia; and the 1950s-era Eddie’s Grill in little Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio.

Heh. That teapot isn’t far from here. Perhaps I should sew up the World’s Largest Teabag to go with it. 😉

I think you’re onto something – people love roadside souvenirs. And it’s the perfect marriage of your interests! How about a mini-Teapot? The Sunoco across the street could carry them. Years ago, they sold real teapot Teapots. Or mini-Teapot earings?! Tie clasps?!? I know, S&Ps of the Chester Teapot and Bedford Coffee Pot!!!
