Roadside attractions on Cape Cod and the South Coast: Vintage photos
Kitschy stuff by the side of the road
Giant fish? Huge milk bottles? Whale-shaped car washes? You bet! The John Margolies Roadside America Photograph Archive at the Library of Congress has that and more.
Stumbling onto it was wicked fun and a blast of color from days of yore. So I am happy to present some of the images in the collection from Cape Cod and the South Coast. Margolies (1940-2016), spent 40 years traveling across America with his camera, documenting cool and kitschy stuff. Enjoy this road trip down memory lane:
