    Okay, first and foremost, I am a sucker for tourist traps. I love the little roadside attractions…read morewhile you're driving. Do I want to see the two-headed calf? Absolutely I do! Do I want to see the three-headed rattlesnake, of course! Why did it take me so long to stop and see the thing? I don't know. But today memorial Day I decided it was time. Got to say right off the bat. This place does an amazing job of marketing, I was seeing signs for this ever since I left El Paso. Now this is not the first time I've seen it. I have driven past this place on multiple occasions and even stopped for gas here, but I did not venture in to see the thing. Why? Maybe it wasn't my time? Maybe the aliens did not guide me to this until that. Whatever the case, I'm glad I did because I can now check this off my bucket list. For starters, this is one of the cheapest side shows I think I've ever seen. With my senior discount. It came out to under $5 for entrance. I'm not going to do too many spoilers because you really have to walk through it yourself. The bottom line is that this guy grabs a hold of all the conspiracy theories possible and melds them into one place. The big questions are what if dinosaurs were actually ruled by aliens? What if aliens have been here all along? Guiding history? What if an alien drove Winston Churchill in a Rolls-Royce? These are valid questions that one should consider while walking through the tour of the thing exhibit. Now, with any good Taurus trap you have to have a solid gift shop, and the thing delivers. There are shot glasses, hats, t-shirts, stickers, refrigerator, magnets, and anything else you could think of to emblazon with the thing logo. Did I buy a t-shirt? Yes, I did. Did I buy a couple of refrigerator magnets? Yes I did. The bottom line if you are traveling and you need to take a break and stop to check things out. This is the place for you, whether you believe in aliens or not, or believe that Winston Churchill was driven around by an alien, you need to stop by and check this place out. I would give it 10 stars but Yelp only allows for five.

    What a super fun stop. We did not want to see "the Thing" but enjoyed the little shop…read more Also, the bathrooms were very clean and the gasoline was cheap. Viva.

    I love the customer service, friendliness, helpfulness, always a smiling face…read more All sales are prominently posted. Staff knows you by name. I always find everything I was looking for promptly and ease to find displayed. This store is very convenient for me, as it is right around the corner from where I live. Easy walking distance, although I usually drive, if I purchase bulky, heavy items. Items are easy to reach and/or i ask for friendly help, which is always prompt. Never do I find any staff lolligagging (=idling or gossiping in the aisles!!! Just a convenient and fun place to shop those last minute hings at low cost.

    I can't get too excited one way or the other about a Dollar General Store. Truth be told, the only…read more"dollar store" I go to regularly is a Dollar Tree that's about a three minute walk from my work, and only because they sell a mysterious 20 oz. can of Diet Coke for ... well, you know. And yet, when my bride and offspring join me sojourning across this great country in our car, and we travel through small 'burgs and 'villes, there is nothing quite as low-brow satisfying as blowing a couple of Andy Jacksons on the abject detritus that fills the shelves of your average Dollar General. Yeah, I know... you NEEDED Oxy-Clean, or PRELL 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, or a five-pack of tube socks, or a fifteen-pack of Big League Chew, or a bag of raffia, or a LOL-doll coloring book, or a 98¢ pregnancy test (I hope it's good news!) But most of the time, we truly don't NEED a blessed thing in this store. Still, we'll blow money here like drunks, buying stuff that would make a Goodwill donation guy blush. And that's OK... because Dollar General is about feeling good, even if exiting the establishment is about buying a Power Rangers mask or a big seasonal hat so no one recognizes you walking out and makes you feel bad. As for this DG, it's a good one-- they have all sorts of stuff. Sure, the prices might head north of a dollar, but it's deeply discounted, and most items have the life expectancy of cut tulips anyway. Honestly, you could probably find a few treasures in here if you really put the work in, sell them on eBay, and double your money. But that reeks of effort, and besides, we're just passin' through, Pardner. Smoke if you got em, but apparently not in front of the building?
