Kentucky & West Virginia
Lexington
The Dixie Cup Corporation moved to Lexington in 1958. The water tower was constructed almost immediately after the move. The corporation has since been incorporated into the Georgia-Pacific Corporation, but the water tower has remained. The city refused to remove the Dixie Cup Water Tower as the nearby airport uses it as a point of reference. We had to stop as we passed through Lexington to see this for ourselves!
Ansted
We normally enjoy the oddities that come our way through lost luggage, but it has been a real treat seeking them out on the road. So when we heard about the Mystery Hole we had to venture to Ansted, West Virgina to experience it for ourselves.
Founded by Donald Wilson in 1973, Mystery Hole, advertises itself as a gravity-defying wonder. It is reminiscent of tourist traps of days gone by. It includes side show-esque attractions such as balls that roll up hill.
