>> Uncanny Valerie

Hahahhaha! Great line! I’ll be using that one in the future.

Also, I’m from the West Coast, and am dying to know what this attraction is! I honestly have no guesses, nor do I understand what’s so questionably racist about it. Would anyone mind filling me in? I think it would help the story make more sense to me.

I’m guessing it’s South of the Border in South Carolina

Thank you for the feedback!

So, OP had stated that he was taking the I-95 North, and also that he exited the freeway about 2 hours into his drive after leaving Savannah.

Do you know whereabouts that would land you? And what cartoon character is he referring to that is the main focus of this “roadside attraction?”

As OP mentioned, there are billboards all over I-95 for it. I’ve never been, but I’m in NC and any time I travel south, I see them everywhere. Just follow those, I guess? Just watch out for more Uncanny Valeries.

No idea about the exact location unfortunately—I’m just guessing after some googling hahaha

Their mascot is called Pedro

Guys don't put yourself in danger. Clearly you aren't supposed to go there or pinpoint the location.

Stop trying to look it up.

it’s great as long as you don’t follow employees or go behind closed doors, lots of cool knickknacks

But wait remember they killed the trucker bride and groom and they didn't go in the employees only door

Yup…South of the Border… of NC. Lol.
I haven’t been there since the 70s when just about every roadside attraction sold fireworks and paraphernalia. Great combination that.

Yes. As a former coastal ( miss it much) has to be:) I am old and recall these signs from many years ago.
