I was in Cape May, New Jersey around July 7th and went to a really interesting restaurant. It had a huge man with one leg sitting outside the resturant he was supposed to be representing the man who started the restaurant.... there was also calico calf the 2-headed calf and other animals with two heads stuffed on display inside the restaurant so you can look at them when you eat, and other oddities collected throughout the years, including a huge Santa and useless junk hanging from the ceiling.
