Muffler men. The surprising history of miniature golf and it's connection to Rock City. A giant roadside duck. Politically incorrect roadside architecture. A motel drive in theater combination. South of The Border. A house shaped like a shoe with an ice cream parlor in the sole.
On this special episode of Coffee With Jim, the weekly podcast from Jim Hinckley's America, author and humorist Jim Hinckley shares the story of iconic and obscure road side attractions. It's road trip inspiration of epic proportions!
Next week on Coffee With Jim we will be talking time machines and time travel with Jackie Dunn of the Tulsa Model A Ford Club. An old two lane highway, a Model A Ford, a Sunday afternoon drive to the diner for dinner. It's as close to time travel as we can get!
Join us for another road trip inspiring conversation next Sunday morning. After all, Jim Hinckley's America is a shared adventure!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
