A travel guide to the Lone Star State that guides television fans to a modern replica of the Munsters' mansion, leads the nonsqueamish to the world's only Cockroach Hall of Fame, and points the curious towards a small town filled with hippo statues. It features photographs and maps that instruct visitors on how to get to these extraordinary spots.
This amusing travel guide to the Lone Star State doesn't waste travelers time telling them where to find antiques in the Hill Country, take breathtaking hikes through Big Bend, or gaze upon the Alamo. Instead, it guides television fans to a modern replica of the Munsters' mansion, leads the nonsqueamish to the world's only Cockroach Hall of Fame, and points the curious towards a small town filled with hippo statues. Among other things, Texas is home to Goliath-sized roadside attractions, and directions are provided on how to reach the World's Largest Six-Shooter, World's Largest Rattlesnake, and World's Largest Wooden Nickel. The accompanying photographs and maps instruct visitors on how to get to these and other extraordinary spots, including "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", the Celebrity Shoe Musuem, "Alley Oop's" Fantasyland, and the Birthplace of Fritos. A dose of wacky Texas history is also included with answers to questions such as: Did a UFO really crash into a windmill northwest of Fort Worth?
