Roadside Attractions Blog | Right At The Light

Welcome to the Blog That Pulls Over for Everything Weird

This is where the weird piles up—legendary 50-foot roadside giants live side by side with tiny handmade signs tucked behind gas stations. We dive deep into towns with names like Ding Dong, Texas, investigate murals wrapping around laundromats, and share photos snapped through rain-streaked windshields. Sometimes it’s a gas station serving incredible donuts alongside diesel fuel. Sometimes it’s a sculpture garden that looks alien-designed. Sometimes it’s just capturing that moment when you roll into a small town and feel like you’ve stepped through a portal into a living postcard where everything is more colorful, more optimistic, and a lot more interesting than the world you left on the interstate.

What Makes This Different

We celebrate the democratic beauty of American weirdness—the places where creativity meets commerce in unexpected ways, where someone’s wild dream became a concrete reality standing proudly next to Highway 50. We document giant chickens, mystery spots, and houses of oddities with the respect, wonder, and occasional bewildered amusement they deserve. Every roadside attraction has a human story behind it, and we’re here to tell those stories.


Meet the Real Roadside Regulars

We don’t just write about roadside oddities—we travel with a whole crew of them. Our pets are part of the journey.

Visit our Traveling with Pets page to see how two humans and ten animals navigate fiberglass giants, quirky diners, and shoe-shaped houses—without losing their snacks.
