See America

Lookout Mountain

In the southwestern corner of Tennessee, a mountain towers over the city of Chattanooga, at its peak, it's rumored that you can see 7 states. This destination is certainly one borne of natural beauty and history, but the dawn of auto tourism led it down a similar path as the Niagra Falls - commercial kitsch, with See Rock City signs plastering that 7-state region. That's ok, that nostalgia is historic now, 90 years later. 

This week, Chattanooga's Lookout Mountain. 

The Best Places in America to Pee

See America is back! We're kicking off season 7 with a fun roundup of some of the most interesting and amazing bathrooms in America, along with the best places to stop when you have to do your business on a road trip!

The Nashville Parthenon

This week, we are adding to our ever-growing list of episodes highlighting international landmark replicas that dot the American landscape with a road trip to the iconic Parthenon, located not in Athens...but in Nashville, Tennessee.  

Tombstone

The world's most famous gunfight didn't happen where you think it did, and it only lasted for 30 seconds. But the spat between the lawmen Earps and Cowboy Clantons is one of the most enduring legends of America. And really, how long does a gunfight need to last? The town it happened in is one of the few places you can truly step back in time and be there, much as it was, at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881.

This week, one of the last boomtowns in the American Frontier, Tombstone, Arizona. 

The Jell-O Gallery Museum

In upstate New York, one museum is dedicated to a boxed dessert that's been a part of America for nearly 125 years. America's Most Famous Dessert's success story is the result of marketing that would help shape the advertising industry throughout the 20th century. There's always room for Jell-O...

This week, The Jell-O Gallery Museum in LeRoy, New York.

Wild Blueberry Land

This week, a celebration of the Pine Tree State's 40,000 acres of Wild Blueberries at Wild Blueberry Land in Columbia Falls, Maine.

The London Bridge

Our journey today definitely spends some time in Europe, as much of America's story does. But it ends in the 1970s, in Lake Havasu, Arizona, where a piece of world history was salvaged for a tourist attraction like no other: The London Bridge

Buc-ee's

This week, we journey to the world's largest convenience store — Texas' famed Buc-ee's. A place filled with miles of treats and sodas and bathrooms so clean you'll hold it for an extra fifty miles just to use them. It's a chain that's become a legend. 

Dr Pepper

It's been called the "King of sodas" and "liquid sunshine," and over the years it's gone through several variations - Red Fusion, Diet Cherry Chocolate, and "made with real sugar," but at the end of the day, the original reigns supreme. In an industry where companies are constantly trying to reinvent themselves, this brand's original formula has stayed near the top of the leader board since it was first introduced over 100 years ago.

This week, the history of Dr. Pepper and the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco, Texas. 

Wall Drug

One of the world's most well-known roadside attractions, nearly in the middle of nowhere South Dakota began as a stop for free ice water, coffee, and donuts for service personnel on the way to an Air Force Base. Today, it's a tourism icon. And the coffee price has gone up drastically — from free all the way up to a whopping $.05. 

This week, the Wall Drug store in Wall South Dakota.
