South Of The Border

so weird, but funny

I rode on a plastic alligator. And bought a whip.

...this place is not for you. It is an overgrown gas station, basically.

I did camp here one year in college. The next morning, management had to remove a giant rat snake from the campgrounds. It had apparently eaten something recently and was really lethargic, but still. Ew.

The signs. They lead you in from miles around. My friend rich told me stories about this place… and how glorious it was. when i got there, i didnt even go inside. Fireworks just arent as cool as they were when we were kids.

but oh to say you’ve been there.

Well I am saying it is worth just for the experience and to say you have been there. It is amazing how many signs are along the highway advertising this place, and once you get there it is like, “this is it?” It is a treasure trove of tacky junk and the place just looks dumpy. It is amazing how they stay in business…

This place contains a treasure trove of junk made in China. That alone makes the stop worth it. But can you really say you’ve been to South of the Border, if you leave before ascending Sombrero Tower and confirming that you are, indeed, in the middle of nowhere?

my father had a team of flat track racers down south. we would drive down and south of the border was the signal for me to start throwing up due to motion sickness and being trapped in a moving vehicle. a client of mine actually bought me back a keychain recently on my request. mmmmm americana at its finest… excuse me i think i feel ill…..

God I love those billboards

Hey y’all. I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina but I drive through Dillon, SC/Rowland, NC on I-95 occasionally when I visit family up north (Ohio). For some reason I always have to pee when I drive through there. Anyway, the signs that you see on the way there are completely tacky and tasteless and plastered all over I-95, which is so embarassing because it makes SC look like a bunch of dumbass rednecks. Then when you actually see the place, its ridiculous. Cheesy, corny restaurants and places to shop. Do the rides even work there? I got off the highway and drove through it for a LAUGH, only to find that the sole visitors the place had were people who were making fun of the cheap, Mexican-themed decor. I have no interest in actually going to this place. I don’t even think it should still be open because it looks like the biggest waste of space in the universe. I don’t know what moron allowed someone to invest the time and money into opening a place like that. What is the freakin’ point? IF you want a good time, go to CEDAR POINT in Sandusky, Ohio. Best rides in the world!!!

One of those places that you just have to visit to believe.
