Winnie G Posted July 8, 2006 Report Posted July 8, 2006 OK does anyone know what those large town markers are called?????????? Like a big potato or the worlds largest Easter egg. Were we are moving to in Alberta there are small towns around there that have these roadside markers. Vulcan Alberta has a giant Enterprise. They even have a star trek festival each summer. So what are these oddities called? Do any of you know? Quote

Fiannan Posted July 9, 2006 Report Posted July 9, 2006 I heard a town in Iowa claims to be the future birthplace of James T. Kirk. Has anyone been to Wall Drug? Now that's a tourist trap -- complete with what, a thousand roadside signs? Quote
