As we drive several times a year through Oregon on Highway 97, we pass this monstrous creature and wonder what it is and why it's there. We knew it must have been a left-over from some roadside attraction in days gone by, but what? The Hub City Chrome signs are new, in the past 8 years or so, so now it's easy to search the Internet and look the place up. I found a nice article on the Roadside America.com site which explains the place and has additional photos!We travel a lot and on highway 97 there are several places that look to be the shambles of old roadside attractions and it's too bad they weren't kept up. But, it's nice that someone has recorded the history somewhere!
