Contrary to what was written by the last tipster, the cup is still there. I passed by July 10th, and it pretty much still looked like it did five years ago. Same location as well.

I wasn't sure if the coffee mug would still be standing, but I was passing Wilkes Barre and thought I'd risk a detour. It is in pretty bad shape, and looks like it's either going to be torn down or washed away, based on its condition. Still, it was exciting to see, I'm glad I went, and I would tell others interested in goofy roadside attractions to visit.

Run down and sad. Not worth a stop. Graffiti left much to be desired.

Love it! Hilarious and just 3 minutes off 84. Just stop and take a pic. Yes, it's not perfect, but the neighborhood is good. Commercial area. Nothing scary.
