Feature I would like to see on IAT: modern day updates on the attractions featured on the postcards. The Glass House Restaurant, for example: is it still amazing travelers even today? I don't know, just throwing it out there.

I believe it is now a McDonalds. Really! I'll look into it.

I went there! It was billed as "The World's Largest McDonald's" and was by far my favorite thing driving across Oklahoma in the early 90's. Apparently it's still much the same.

I think the updates on postcard attractions is a great idea. There's been a little of that in the blog's past, and it's always fascinating. Maybe some readers would volunteer as research assistants...
