Wild Travels
Episode 102
NEON MUSEUM and BONEYARD Las Vegas, NV
Vegas nights are renowned for their neon glow, but what happens to all those neon signs when they're discarded by their hotels and casinos? If they're lucky, they'll be given a second life at the Neon Museum and Boneyard.
ART CAR PARADE Houston, TX
Houston's annual Art Car Parade is the mother of all art car parades, and it brings out a group of colorful and wildly creative characters -- God bless them all, not just for their brilliant car art, but for the great party they put on the night before the Parade featuring glow-in-the-dark costumes, copious amounts of liquor and two guys with fireworks shooting out of their heads.
FARMACIA BOTANICA MILLION DOLLAR Los Angeles, CA
At this pharmacy, you'll find the shelves stocked with mysteriously- shaped candles, potentially destructive potions and anatomically correct voodoo dolls; if the proprietors are to be believed, this is your one-stop shop for erotic love, financial success and putting a serious curse on your least favorite people.
HANGOVER HEAVEN Las Vegas, NV
If you tie one on in Sin City and need to be semi-coherent the next morning, you'll want to call the friendly folks at Hangover Heaven -- they've developed a proven antidote for your symptoms, and darned if they don't make house calls! Oh, and if you prefer your health practitioners to look like soap opera stars, ask for Doctor Jason.
DEKE SKAYTON SPACE & BICYCLE MUSEUM Sparta, WI
Space travel and bicycles might not seem like obvious candidates to share one museum, but to the managers of this museum it makes perfect sense. If you’ve ever ridden a bike or dreamed of being an astronaut (or pretended to be an astronaut while riding a bike), this place is a must see.
