I visited Dorothy

[MadMyche]

My weekend road trip last year was to (not Chicago) Illinois.

Did find a road that was closed.... I guess barricades aren't good enough And I did learn something about the origin of The Wizard of Oz

These little 3 day jaunts are to just to see what is there that you don't hear about; and typically are done on the country roads instead of freeways.

I'm sure that had they used ordinary barricades, the low-information drivers would have driven around them - right off the end of the road. They would then have sued the city/county/state for not adding "this means YOU!" to the sign. :sigh:

Maybe its just the angle of the photo, but there's something slightly unsettling about the statue of Dorothy. Something about the eyes makes me think of The Shining, or something.

Yeah ... there is a certain malevolence to that face ... :~
