Busy section of highway, and hard to admire the flying saucer in the tangle of overhead wires and billboards for Personal Injury Lawyers. It's on top of the 2001 Odyssey nude dance club.
[Scott Archibald, 03/27/2009]Futuro UFO House Atop a Strip Club:- Address:

I spotted an interesting variation of a Futuro UFO House while on a business trip to Tampa, Florida. This Futuro House is located on Dale Marby Blvd two blocks South of the Raymond James Stadium on the East side of the road. The UFO is painted silver, much like the one in North Carolina, but instead of being free-standing this UFO is perched atop a business, which happens to be a strip club. A small sign out states that the UFO is "the most unique VIP room in the South." I'll take their word for it.

The Futuro UFO House at the Pink Elephant Mall in Livingston is in pretty bad shape. Broken windows, rotten plywood, and rusty beams = less-than-stellar appearance. "Keep Out" signs will deter the human element, but not the harsh Midwest elements of nature. Let's hope it soon finds a permanent spot as a restored home for a retro-loving mid century atomic-age preservationist.

Eat your ice cream and gaze upon Roadside giants. A Futuro flying saucer house, Muffler Man, pink elephant, Uniroyal Gal waitress, and a big beach dude statue.

Great stop! Harley guy is a ways out, past the pink elephant and giant tricycle. They also have Alvin & the Chipmunks, Santa, UFO house, waitress, and summer dude holding a cone. What better way to celebrate these great feats of fiberglass than to eat ice cream made inside a ice cream cone?!
