PBS documentary by Rick Sebak of WQED 2004. A travelogue featuring oddly-shaped buildings (and the folks who live in, work in, own and admire them) located along USA highways.
Consider the Big Duck on Long Island, a duck-shaped structure built in 1930 as a place to sell duck eggs.
Look at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota, a civic center decorated every year in massive mosaic murals made of corn.
Stop for lunch at Mammy's Cupboard in Natchez, Mississippi, where you can eat inside the "skirt" of a building, erected in 1940 to attract tourist business to a gas station, in the shape of an African-American mammy.
Fill your prescriptions at Bondurants' Pharmacy in Lexington, Kentucky, a drug store in the shape of a giant mortar and pestle.
Some of the places are icons of American highway history, like the motel rooms in the shape of teepees (there are still three sets of them left in America), while others are new additions to the world of strange structures, like the building in the shape of an upside down building called WonderWorks along International Drive in Orlando, Florida.
Mother Goose house in Hazard, Kentucky, that's now a private residence, and we visited many places like the Shoe House in York, Pennsylvania, the Frates Milk Bottle in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and we stopped to talk with Bill Griffith, the guy who draws the Zippy the Pinhead cartoon strip because he and his characters often love these oddly shaped structures, too.
