Pedro's South of the Border
Steve’s take
You've been seeing the billboards for 200 miles. 'Pedro says keep going!' 'You never sausage a place!' Your kids have counted every single sign since Virginia. South of the Border is the most gloriously absurd roadside attraction on I-95 — a giant sombrero tower, fireworks shops, a reptile lagoon, and absolutely no reason to exist except that it does and it's been here since 1950. Stop. Take the photo with Pedro. Buy the bumper sticker. This is America.
