<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2131068/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Buckle up for our most anticipated episode of the year—the 2025 Roadside Attractions March Madness Championship! With special guest Courtney from The Brewery Adventure podcast completing our judging panel, we're setting out to crown America's ultimate roadside attraction from a bracket of 23 quirky, fascinating, and sometimes bizarre destinations. The competition features everything from architectural oddities to pop culture landmarks. Marvel at the Paper House in Massachusetts, where everything from walls to furniture is constructed entirely from layered newspapers. Discover the Beer Can House in Houston, a shimmering masterpiece adorned with 50,000 beer cans that create wind chimes with the slightest breeze. Venture to Moab's Hole in the Rock, a 5,000 square foot home carved directly into sandstone, surrounded by punny sculptures like the "jailhouse rock" (literally, a rock in jail). As we narrow down our contenders, cultural landmarks take center stage. Wisconsin's House on the Rock dazzles with its infinity room extending 218 feet over a valley and the world's largest indoor carousel featuring 269 animals. The Seattle Gum Wall, described as "one of the germiest yet most beloved roadside attractions," competes against classic Americana like the Blue Whale of Catoosa on historic Route 66. The final showdown pits two Iowa attractions against each other—the Field of Dreams baseball diamond from the iconic movie and Captain Kirk's future birthplace in Riverside (a town that boldly claimed itself as the Star Trek character's birthplace despite it never being specified in the original series). Which will claim the championship? The baseball field where ghosts emerge from cornfields or the town that reimagined itself through science fiction? Join us for this laughter-filled road trip across America's most unusual destinations, and discover which attraction truly deserves the title of roadside champion. Whether you're planning your next cross-country adventure or simply enjoy celebrating the quirky creativity that dots America's highways, this episode will inspire your wanderlust and appreciation for the unexpected treasures waiting just off the beaten path.<a href='https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yACemZ38GXGk8DtrkmH-TKIYI_O5SRCH7Atfv8j00O0/edit?usp=sharing'>SHOWNOTES</a><a href='https://thebreweryadventure.com/'>The Brewery Adventure</a><a rel="payment" href="http://www.patreon.com/TreasuresofourTown">Support the show</a><a href='https://www.facebook.com/TreasuresofourTownPodcast'>Facebook </a><a href='https://www.instagram.com/treasures_of_our_town/'>Instagram </a><a href='https://twitter.com/treasuresoftown'>X </a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/@treasuresofourtownpodcast'>Youtube</a>
