In a small town called Erick - The 'Red-Neck' Capitol of the World
Located in Erick’s oldest building - the City Meat Market - is the Sandhill Curiosity Shop - which sadly was closed when we arrived! We made the stop here after seeing a motorcycle travel documentary made by Henry Cole about Route 66 and the interview he did with the rather eccentric owners.
Containing a crazy Route 66 jumble of memorabilia - and possibly the inspiration for Lizzie’s Curio Shop in the Pixar movie “Cars” - this curiosity shop is just as well known on the route for it’s owners: Harley and Annabelle (the “Mediocre Musicians”) who we didn't get to meet as it is for the collection of items for sale.
Redneck capital? You've become immersed in Southern culture now. YeeHaw.
ReplyDeleteWe love it Trobairitz. Great people, great 'can-do' attitude and always seem willing to help.
DeleteYou can now go back to England and tell them you experienced the best America has to offer...Rednecks make this country strong. There's a little redneck in all of us. :-) Sounds like you guys are having a great time. Ride safe!
