Presented by Noah Adams, this series introduces you not only to far-off locations and unusual destinations, but also to the people who inhabit them-or, as in Roadside Attractions, those who try to visit them. Originally heard on All Things Considered and Morning Edition, the stories gathered here are entertaining, provacative, and moving.

Roadside Attractions are the staple of the American road trip. Many are slowly disappearing from our highways and byways. Are they culture or kitsch? Are their creators artists or innovators? Listeners are invited along for the ride to decide for themselves. Over 1 Hour on 1 cd.
