Between that and Pedro announcing via hundreds of billboards that "South of the Border" was only so many miles away (every 5 miles or so from New Jersey on) with all kinds of funny slogans, including: "Keep yelling kids, they'll stop (which always elicited cheers from my siblings and myself)just totally cracked us up!<BR/><BR/>You gotta love that good ole' Southern humor and hospitality--there's nothing like it! (Although, I now hear that most of the slogans have been changed to make them more politically correct.)<BR/><BR/>If you go to this Roadside America website, you can find the Gaffney "Peachoid" (as it is known), as well as it's smaller sister in Alabama! (click on rival peach.)<BR/><BR/>www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/SCGAFpeach.html<BR/><BR/>You can also find the Big Blue Bug in Providence, RI as well as South of the Border's Pedro and other "kitschy" landmarks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22458455.post-1154539106324715802006-08-02T13:18:00.000-04:002006-08-02T13:18:00.000-04:00Looks like we were both vacationing at the same ti...Looks like we were both vacationing at the same time... We just got back from the very first Phillips family reunion out in Lake Tahoe. Vacationing with my kid only enhances the experience. She loves everything about it including the crap I hate (airports, rental cars, taxi's, etc...).<BR/><BR/>It was a lot of fun for me and the wife too.<BR/><BR/>Funny you mention the landmark thing. If you drive Northeast/Southwest on I85 between Greenville SC and the NC border you will pass through the town of Gaffney SC. Nothing but peach farms and fireworks stands. Gaffney has a water tower in the shape of a peach painted yellow and auburn, stem leaf and all. Funny thing is when you're heading North it looks like a peach, heading South it looks like a big red ass. The first time my wife saw it she laughed all the way through North Carolina.Tony Alvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015995902834461332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22458455.post-1154487801247747882006-08-01T23:03:00.000-04:002006-08-01T23:03:00.000-04:00Just in case you were wondering, the "Big Blue Bug...Just in case you were wondering, the "Big Blue Bug" has a name... Nibbles Woodaway! He has been featured in comic strips, has had cameo apprearances in movies such as Dumb & Dumber, he has appeared on Oprah and even been written up in the Wall Street Journal. Not too shabby for a big blue termite, huh?<BR/><BR/>P.S. He wears the Providence Red Sox hat, not the Boston Red Sox! Hence the "P".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22458455.post-1154485902520087942006-08-01T22:31:00.000-04:002006-08-01T22:31:00.000-04:00We didn't even need the bug spray at the drive-in!...We didn't even need the bug spray at the drive-in!
