South of What Border Now? //

If you spent your childhood on family treks up and down I-95, you know what South of the Border I’m talking about. Here’s a short history of the most bizarre bazaar of a rest stop in the South. (And yes, I do think it’s a little bit racist. (It’s a lot racist.) But it weirdly has a history of pretty antiracist action.)
