Tony & Todd's Roadside Attractions

“Prehistoric Forest, Ghost Town, and other random objects of unusual size: They’re all classic slices of Americana, and all featured in Tony and Todd’s Roadside Attractions. These two guys work for ABC News in Toledo, Ohio and the job takes them to bizarre and quirky places. Most of the time, it doesn’t end up on the news … it ends up on the internet. What’s the story behind a giant Uncle Sam? Why would anyone Chew Mail Pouch? And will a giant cow ever get a new home? See what all the buzz is about!”
