Dinosaur World, or John Agar's Land of Kong (Arkansas)

Today a crumbling pile of concrete in rural Arkansas, this park was once a glimmering roadside haven for the family vacations of decades past. In today's episode, I get into the history of this beacon of a simpler time. On the way, I talk about a history of the US road systems, and the sculpting history of a man called Emmet Sullivan.
