On our recent Great Lakes trip, we didn’t stop to see quirky roadside attractions like the SPAM Museum or the world’s largest ball of twine. But we did get to see a few other random giant objects of cultural significance…
First was the giant frosty mug of root beer at a drive-in diner in Taylors Falls, MN. While not as large as the others, it rotated!
While we were disappointed that it was in front of a “Drive-In”, not a “Drive-Inn” (Hawaii folks will get the reference), they did have good root beer.
Second is from Lindstrom, MN, a town that’s obviously proud of its Swedish roots. Their water tower is decorated like a coffeepot:
Finally, this inexplicable monster pileated woodpecker in downtown Toronto near the CN Tower:
Yay for giant urban (or rural) art!
