As you may, or may not know, summer here in the Northern Hemisphere is rapidly coming to a close.  Children, students, and heck, even teachers around the country are most likely weeping with the realization that summer, and with it, road trip season, are coming to an end for the year.  That said, there IS time left my friends, to get out there and take that one last road trip of the summer.

That fact brings me to this week’s WHERE Widget of the Week…seems only appropriate that this weeks popular widget would be none other than the World’s Largest Widget.   According to the official description, the World’s Largest Widget offers you this:

“Bet you didn’t know where the World’s Largest Ball of Twine was. Or the biggest cow. Or the chicken. Neither did we until that is we made the World’s Largest USA widget. Now you can also be made aware thanks to the mighty brain power of our intern into the inner workings of the World’s Largest USA roadside attractions. Or somesuch. “

Why would you want to know where these things are?  Simple friends, it’s Americana at it’s finest.  It’s cool, it’s obscure ,and it’s the stuff roadtrip dreams are made of.  Good enough of a reason for you?  I hope so, now get out there and enjoy the last gasps of summer!
