Kitschy Kitchi Gami: Big Stuff by the Big Lake

by

Since the opening of the first highways (and maybe before), people have created those delightfully quirky sideshows for travelers called “roadside attractions” or, more simply, Big Things.

As one might expect, the Big Lake hosts a wealth of Big Things, from outlandish statuary to items with history and panache. The Things listed below serve as a sampler and a tribute to those who take the time and money to create attractions that make travel more amazing and amusing.

Thanks to all the travelers who shared these photos. If you have your own Big Things pictures, email them to edit@lakesuperior.com or ping us with a mention on Facebook (LakeSuperiorMagazine), Instagram (@LakeSuperiorMagazine) or Twitter (@LakeSuperiorMag).
