This faded booth once sold admission to a roadside zoo—one of hundreds of quirky attractions that lined American highways in the mid-20th century. For families driving cross-country, these humble stops promised adventure and a break from the road.
You pull off the highway, hot and restless after hours in the car. A hand-painted sign promises exotic animals and wonders. You hand over your coins at this little booth, and for a few hours, the desert becomes a destination.
Reflect
What draws you off the highway today? How has the way we travel and find adventure changed?
