There’s A Twitter Bot That Shares Vintage American Roadside Pics Dated ’60s–’00s, And So Here Are 30 Of The Most Interesting Ones

The US is unique, for a lack of a better word, when it comes to domestic travel. And I’m not talking about flights—rather about road trips. The long roads are what made commercial airlines the predominant mode of transport, but looking at the vast skies, though romantic, doesn’t really beat the roadside attractions that were built specifically to make long-distance terrestrial travel much more manageable.

Incidentally, this now-corporate phenomenon has drawn enough attention to become an object of documentation. A lovely fellow by the name of John Margolies took it upon himself to snap photographs of the American roadside scene and make an archive of it.

And then another lovely fellow by the name of Parker Higgins took it upon himself to create a Twitter bot that would share these impressive pics on the dedicated Twitter page called Old Roadside Pics.

And then yet another lovely fellow from Bored Panda took it upon himself to spread the word and compile the list you can find below. By this point, you, the lovely reader, know what to do next.

Somehow, I knew it was from Texas before reading the caption despite its subtlety.

Some time ago, Robertas used to spend his days watching how deep the imprint in his chair will become as he wrote for Bored Panda. Wrote about pretty much everything under and beyond the sun. Not anymore, though. He's now probably playing Gwent or hosting Dungeons and Dragons adventures for those with an inclination for chaos.
