This special section of Roadside Peek contains photos of roadside
attractions in the Northeast. Roadside Peek East originated from the extensive
and unique roadside photo collection of Mark Hackett and his sidekick
Steve Felder. Now, let's sneak a peek at the East and some of its places
of interest. And yes, don't forget to check back here from time to time
to see these roadside treasures.
