Back in the 50's and 60's, before the interstate highway came along, little traps along the old, what are now back roads, were a blast. On state lines you never knew what you were going to find. Fireworks and booze were the biggest sellers, especially in the South if you were leaving a "dry" county. The younger generations can blast the geezers all they want for reminiscing, we had what will never be there again, and had just as much fun. I have to say that the traps do make highway travel fun. Even in today's world you have to have a place for a break and the chuckles that these places create. My favorite for some reason will always be Wall Drug.
