• Winter Haven, Florida - 24-Foot-Tall Potty Chair

  I'm an artist and I had to go visit this amazing site in person -- and the cool thing is it's only about 30 miles from where I live, yet I never knew it existed until finding it on Roadside America. You can walk right up to it even though it's on private property. Just be respectful of the owner of said property (who's the artist who created the chair). We were told the neighbors protested the building of the chair and say it's an eyesore... I say good for the artist in not letting others hinder him.
