Form and Space, Career


Cheesy Roadside Attractions
I don’t know who is the nut- the one who built this or the one who is displaying this. It seems that every small town must have a gimmick to attract tourists and so the need for the Cheesy Roadside Attraction Maker. Every animal you can think of has been scaled up to the size of enormous just for the sole purpose of attracting some wanders by and families on road trips. Would I ever take a detour to see the largest ball of twine or the biggest shoe, no probably not, but who would in this economy. In the time of National Lampoon, families regularly spent time at these interesting rest stops just to say that they have visited the largest boot in America. If you were a maker of these strange items you would need to know a lot about metal, fiberglass, and any other material that would continue to last throughout the generations.
