Welcome To Folded Memories

My family did a lot of travel by car when I was young. Inevitably, this meant a lot of stops at highway rest areas. For me, each stop was an adventure. Yes, I was excited to visit at some of the shadiest (and some of the nicest) rest areas around. Why? Because I devised a hobby to keep myself entertained: I began collecting attraction brochures. Each stop meant another chance to add to the collection.

I've heard from others that they did the same thing. Unlike others though, through some amount of luck, I managed to keep most of those brochures and pamphlets to this day. Some were for places I visited many times. Others I only visited in the brilliant hues of these trifold pamphlets. Now they serve as a time machine of sorts. I hope if you've visited the places shown, that you'll comment below each one, and help bring back the memories across the years of these special, and in some cases, infamous places.
