👋 Hello, Marketer!
|
|
In college, I wrote for our free local paper. One story I covered was weird attractions in the state. There are a suprising number of giant fish statues, the House on the Rock, some troll carvings, a giant bigfoot, a Jurassic Park, a giant ball of twine, and many more. What's your state's best oddity?
