RICK Yeah, I think we do. We love these unusual buildings because they remind us of our own goofy potential.
JIM I never get tired of this stuff, and part of it is the fact that I know that there’s still stuff that I haven’t seen out there.
RANDY And I think you’re crazy if you don’t love these. I mean we should appreciate these things more.
RICH It’s getting out in your car. It’s going someplace. It’s the Wild West. It’s exploring.
PAT I mean yeah, there’s an appeal there that makes people want to participate, makes people want to go.
BILL Always glad they’re there. Always worried I’ll make the turn, and they’ll be gone.
RICK These buildings are wacky, important and worth seeking out. Somehow they have the power to grab our attention, to intrigue us and to lift our spirits.
ERIC And to see something out of the ordinary, to see something, something interesting, it makes you smile, makes you feel good, makes you wonder, makes you dream again.
