Roadside Wonders Presentation

 

The purpose of this report is to highlight and display some of the surviving properties and resources around Charlotte that could be designated as “Roadside Wonders.” A “Roadside Wonder” is any property that was constructed with the purpose of attracting motorists in the burgeoning pre or post-World War II automobile-oriented commercial industry. These resources highlight an aspect of American culture that sought to cater to the demand of travelers in a society that could experience mobilizatin on a mass scale.
