ABOUT CALIFORNIA CURIOSITIES

IMG_0150

This collection of insanity was created with one goal in mind: to take the reader on a twisted tour through the unusual sights, bizarre roadside attractions, awkwardly themed restaurants, off-kilter museums and other random spectacles that make the Golden State one of the most glorious places on Earth.

It could be the Midwesterner in me-- L.A. based now, but originally from the far away land of Cleveland, Ohio— but I've always been fascinated with California and the lovely people who inhabit it. This strange attraction led me to create the site you've just stumbled across, a place where I've attempted to capture the look/feel of the quirkiest corners of Cali.

Inside, you'll find a gaggle of inane information that'll surely spice up any Road Trip, or can simply serve as a humorous guide to whatever random town you find yourself trapped in for a weekend. Plus, I've done the dirty work and met the weirdos for you.

DISCLAIMER: I only write about places I've actually visited in person, which means this is a true labor of love born from years of long road trips. Violating the "See it to write about it" rule would lead to a rather unauthentic, therefore unfullfilling, experience. However, thanks to California's large girth, the list of adventures will continue to grow weekly, with no end in sight.

Curiosity suggestions from the community are always welcome and encouraged. Hit me up with something good!
