A dinosaur at South of the Border. Photo by Brian Wolly.

Anyone who has driven I-95 over the North Carolina/South Carolina state line is familiar with the tourist trap South of the Border (the numerous billboards advertising it make it hard to miss), but unless you look carefully you might miss the dinosaur there. That is what our own Brian Wolly found when he stopped at the notoriously campy attraction earlier this month. Wearing a sky-blue sombrero, the almost nauseatingly-colored dinosaur grins at patrons of the gas station, though it does not look very much like any of the dinosaurs recently discovered in Mexico.
