Helped by Brian and Sarah Butko and their 2005 book “Roadside Giants,” USA Today lists the top 10 oversized roadside icons in America.
One of them is the Gemini Giant, which is part of the Launching Pad Drive-In restaurant on Route 66 in Wilmington, Ill.
Also, just a few miles from Route 66 in Inglewood, Calif., there is the giant doughnut above Randy’s Donuts.
The Butkos also inform me that they have another book coming out in May 2007, titled “Roadside Attractions.” You can pre-order it from Amazon.com here.
