Where is it? Wednesday

By Traci Suppa ( November 10, 2010 at 2:23 am) · Filed under Biggest, Northeast, Roadside Attractions, Virginia, Where is it? Wednesday,

When you have kids, you hear a lot about cooties. I don’t know if the expression began with the invention of the popular game in 1948, but I know it was a term I favored as a child…way…back…when. Until I turned 13, and then, mysteriously, boys didn’t seem to be afflicted with cooties anymore.

Thanks to Lucia C. for submitting our “Where is it” Wednesday” pic today!  Where can you see this colorful creature? Ten points to the first one to tell us!

Cooties

Remember all the little pieces this game came with? I believe they're now called "choking hazards."

    I think it’s somewhere in Virginia, but I can’t remember the name! Crazy enough – a friend of mine just saw this a few weeks ago!

    I love it! I really want to see this. I loved playing the Cootie game when I was young.
