Tourism News
Tony Tasset's 30-foot-tall bloodshot eyeball -- it's art -- has moved yet again, from its original spot in a Chicago park, to its birthing yard in Sparta, Wisconsin, to a vacant lot in downtown Dallas. No word yet on where it will turn up next; blink and you might miss it.
The Leaning Tower is in need of repair -- have you heard that news before? This time it's The Leaning Tower of Niles, Illinois. Its precarious structure only makes it more inviting as a tourist attraction, though perhaps not to lean against.
Caveman vs. mermaids: the non-virtuous story of the Triumph of Civic Virtue has come to a close with the controversial statue's almost-certain final move to a cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. They've cleaned it up and the caveman is looking better than he has in years.

Road Tools and Tips
Every Place on the Web Site: Some years ago we created "state index" pages, but didn't make a big deal of it. They list every attraction on the website -- mapped, not mapped, closed, etc. A-to-Z towns by state/province. Examples:
Arizona | Georgia | New York | Texas | Ontario
It can be handy, and here's an easy way to jump to them. In the top right RoadsideAmerica.com search bar, select any state or province, leave other fields blank, click "Search."
