World's Tallest Thermometer in Baker, California

In a long list of world's tallest and world's biggest roadside attractions, I'm always keen for a kitschy attraction stop-off on any lengthy road trip. The World's Tallest Thermometer in Baker, California provides just that, and at 134 ft. tall it commemorates the record setting 134 degrees Fahrenheit that was reached in nearby Death Valley in 1913.

Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Hollywood, California

With its roots stretching back to 1938, the Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Hollywood, California is a historical repository of photos, scripts, posters, and books spanning all things entertainment. This store is unique not only because it's Hollywood Boulevard's last surviving bookshop, but because it's one of those authentic spaces that has welcomed artists, authors, and fans alike with direct links to the film industry. Larry Edmunds Bookshop is as classic as the content that fills the shop's shelves. What else can I say? I do love an old bookstore.
