Five years five cars and a tour of odd America
A Connecticut couple Jane and Michael Stern spent five years visiting 47 of 48 states in five cars. They catalog roadside curios such as the Nut Museum in Old Lyme and Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, debunking tourism boosterism while publishing Amazing America and Roadfood guides. Their adventures include Beaver Oklahoma’s Cow-Chip Capital and Coon Dog Memorial Park in Cherokee Alabama, with favorites like Mrs Bromley’s Dining Room in Clarendon Texas.
