South of the Border

On Tuesday we went to South of the Border. It's an extraordinarily kitschy tourist attraction off I-95 right on the North Carolina/South Carolina border. I've always wanted to go, ever since I read an article on the extraordinarily kitschy tourist attractions of the South in the now-defunct Sassy magazine I subscribed to as an angry teenager. The article was probably published in '91, and I think things were significantly more hopping then than they are now. Plus, I think things might pick up more in the summer. Or perhaps would-be visitors are turned off by the vague xenophobia vibes I seem to be picking up on. Anyway, here's Pedro welcoming visitors to the Free Public Restrooms: And here's a strangely asian-looking Pedro, big enough to drive through:
Weird. Very weird. Does anyone agree?
