Some of the attractions were built in the 1920s. They include a giant red piano at the entrance of a store or huge donuts on the top of a roadside shop where drivers stop by for snacks, drinks, or quick meal.

The unique architectures were popular along America’s Sun Belt, especially in Southern California. 
Those who want to have a look at the attractions, need to drive slow.
