Yeah, but Dave Barry thinks quite highly of it. He’s been several times, and has been a member of the Lawnmower Drill Team.

Maybe because some people just naturally have good taste in places to visit. Don’t worry, we don’t want you to stay. Just come to spend your money.
Sure. You guys take cash now, or do I have to bring some livestock and whiskey to trade? 
Well, either one will work. Depends on which part of the state you plan to visit.
Hey, if it was happening right outside my window, I’d take a look. I wouldn’t drive even 20 miles to see it, though.
For the record, South of the Border is in South Carolina — not North Carolina — just below the state line. Hence, the name. The Mexican kitsch was added later when it dawned on the owner that most people didn’t connect S of the B with North/South Carolina, but with USA/Mexico.
Nissan has been running a newspaper ad in which numerous Ontario communities are indicated on a map, with the idea being that one can pick a community and drive to it in a Nissan.
Unfortunately, the admeisters never bothered to check if there actually are roads going to all the communites on their map, which in many cases there are not.
Summer’s over, Zette. How about a report?
Heh – I’d forgotten about this thread. Yes, I know it’s in SC, but all those freakin’ billboards are in NC, and that’s what got to me. Hell, I never even saw SOTB itself.
GMRyujin, honey, I’ll take the whiskey.
ultress has it right. Come, drop your hard-earned cash, and have the good grace to go home again. If I meet one more retiree who’s moved here from Florida…
Sliding Rock…
Horrible even thing that it is. I slid down, ripped up my clothes, gained a horrible scrape on the back of my leg, and all that before even hitting the freezing cold water that stunned me enough that I couldn’t breathe for a few seconds. Let’s just say that I only went down the slide once…
I chickened out!!! BAWK! BAWK! BAWK!
You missed nothing. Nothing whatsoever. Except a 150-foot sombrero and a bunch of extremely kitschy giftshops and restaurants.
Believe me when I tell you that the roadside billboards are the most entertaining part of the SotB experience…
Every time I pass Sliding Rock in the summer, there are ambulances outside the entrance. This cannot be a good sign…
<Nitpick> Sliding Rock is in Pisgah National Forest and is near Brevard, NC. It is in a different county than Asheville. Asheville is in Buncombe County and Brevard is in Transylvania County. </Nitpick>
That’s why I carry pleeeeeenty of garlic when I go thru the area!
Sounds like Wall Drugs—
