Vote for Pedro Photo Gallery by Bill Warren at pbase.com

Vote for Pedro

South of the Border is a well known side show on I-95--the fame largely due to many hundreds of Pedro road signs. The place sure has seen better days but for my lens, it has never looked better. SOB is a gold mine of campy gringo art and crazy Pedro and Kong statues.

I can't remmeber how many trips I made from Florida to New England long before there was an Interstate 95 and the SOB signs were always a highlight of the trip. And I still can't travel throught he area without reading those signs. My Sister lived in Lumberton, NC for many years and used tpom laugh at me for wanting to go to SOB when I visited her. A true slice of Americana. Nice pics all.
