Ahh yes. Good ol South of the Border, the signs with Pedro entertain you the entire way there. Although the giant chickens are a little creepy. lol

Pedro says...
Everybody's a weiner at South of the Border!
228 miles

If you've ever driven along I-95 through North and South Carolina, you'll know what how insane their billboards are..

do they still sell fireworks there?

It is hard to tell but that picture almost looks photo-shopped

[Mike Schroeder]

No, No its not photoshopped that just what South of The Border Looks like, Have you ever seen the Movie the Langoliers, its like that, everything south of the border is just stale




(with that statement i may have just started the 2nd Civil War (unless you think it hasn't ended yet))

South of the Border is a must-see for anyone traveling the east coast by car.

I would've loved to stop there...unfortunately team 1676 didn't when we traveled to Palmetto (from NJ) and my parents didn't stop when we drove to Daytona two weeks later. That was a lot of driving...

With all the "see the sites" threads we've been having these days, its almost as if we need a new category of "FIRST Site-Seeing Locations," or "FIRST Travel and Tourism."

I want a database... team XXX is located in City,State and here are the best things to see when you go to visit them.

A sombrero on a tower on the NC / SC border, who would have thought!?!

I have been there a couple times in my life. I must say that it is a neat place. I hope no one took offense to what I said, I was just making an observation. I said it, knowing that it was not true. South of the Border is an interesting place in the least.

you two + fireworks = bad idea

[KenWittlief]

I dont know how long they have been there, since the 50s?

I stopped there back in the 70s when I was in the Coast Guard in WPB Florida, driving either way back home to Buffalo. It makes a good milestone pitstop, being right on the boarder between states, because you tend to gauge where you are on a long trip by the state lines.

And also because you could buy fireworks in South Carolina, but not in North Carolina.

How many countless thousands of parents, taking their kids to florida on Route 95, had to listen to the kids in the back seat, for 100+ miles

when they started seeing the billboards: "CAN WE STOP AND GET FIREWORKS? CAN WE STOP AND GET FIREWORKS? CAN WE......"

I love the MOE shirt under the jacket, its impossible to keep the green hidden
