Ah, the memories.
There is just something about quirky landmarks and unusual roadside buildings that continue to inspire bring smiles after they are long gone.
Delaware loves to look back at some of the weirder places and things it once held dear – whether that be a giant demon statue, a diner with an airplane ”crashed” on its roof, a nightclub with a smoking volcano, a restaurant shaped like a Conestoga wagon, or beloved teddy bear on a giant swing.
Patricia Talorico takes us on a nostalgic tour back through time to rediscover the origin stories of these quirky places and things, and more.
