The Secret Word Is...

FUN! And remember... any time you hear the secret word, SCREAM REAL LOUD! Recently unearthed set of 1988 Pee Wee Herman trading cards given to me by my friend Matt a few years ago. Never opened yet nice to look upon.

Roadside America: Shartlesville, Pennsylvania

The size and scope of the American landscape, miniaturized at Roadside America. Every 30 minutes, the massive warehouse-sized room is darkened into dusk and then night. At this time, Kate Smith's "God Bless America" is played and the terrain (bathed in carefully controlled dimness) is punctured by a thousand points of train set lamplight. 28 January 2009.
