Sandhills Curiosity Shop

Sandhills Curiosity Shop is very much open. Had a conversation with Harley today.

Sand Hills Curiosity Shop

An unbelievably surreal experience! Harley and Annabelle (the "Mediocre Musicmakers") show you around their shop in the self-professed Redneck Capital of the World. You just sit and chat for a spell and then enjoy a personal concert. We were there for about two hours. A Route 66 must-see. Great fun! Erick is also the home of Sheb Wooley, the guy who wrote/sang "The Purple People Eater."
