These oddities found across the United States of America are of so many sizes, shapes and styles that this category defies an exact definition. The selected group here are not all inclusive or comprehensive, as I don’t think anyone has seen all there is to see. Anyone who tells you they have seen everything will most likely lie to you about other things. As we travels from coast to coast and border to border we will be updating and including what we find. If you find something we should include please drop us a note and a few pictures and we will either include it or maybe we will go there and experience it ourselves. Who knows what might happen. Change is constant and travel will be a trip into the unknown as we locate and verify oddities in so many places across the country.

This list is filtered by watching and listening to the stories we tell to each other, The places we tell stories about more often are the ones rated higher. Sounds simple, but the target is always moving and shifting.
