(Below) The Hampton's Skullbone Store is in Skullbone, TN. So named for a bareknuckle style of fighting which took place in the area. 06-06

UPDATE 03/07 : At the bottom right are a couple of additional photos of Ruby and Landon Hampton's Skullbone Store, including a painting of two Skullbonians fighting "Skullbone" style...bare knuckled, only blows above the chest were allowed.  Real HE-MAN fighting. Many thanks to Tony Craig for info and update. 03-07

Here is an old Coca-Cola bottling plant located in Elberton Georgia. The plant closed sometime in the 70's and is now being used as a church. Elberton is known for it's Granite, so it was only fitting for the plants sign to be carved in granite. Many thanks to Doug Harvey for info. 03-06

The Fifty-Fifty store is owned by Tom Tucker in Salisbury, NC. It's called the 50/50 because the shelving units are on a center swivel and can turn around to reveal different items. 06-06

The "Grand Ol' Hatchery"--a quaint play on Grand Ole Opry, in Dickson, TN. Novel idea, turning a feed store into a music venue. The Grand Old Hatchery is located along Main Street in Dickson. 06-06


Airstream
Arkansas

Not sure if this is a "roadside attraction" per se, but there's always room for a nice airstream trailer. Here's a fine night shot look at an airstream trailer sitting off the roadside.


Tabasco Plant
Avery Island, LA

Here's a shot of the Tabasco plant on Avery Island, LA. At first, this appeared to be an old industrial place and made the trek here only to find that the tours were closed that day and the building dates only to the 1970's. 02-07
