Visit Indianapolis. It s probably the best city in the country.
I don t know the route you re traveling, but I can give you some unique roadside attractions in the states you ll be travelling. In Pittsburgh, PA, there s a Lumpy Mr. Roger s Statue. It is located at N. Shore Dr., I-279, exit A (North Shore). Look for the Heinz Field Stadium and the statue is located between it and the river. I was in Pittsburgh in May and found out about this statue, so I thought I d get a look at it for myself.Pittsburgh also has a 20 Ft Tall Transformer Robot on Fort Duquense Blvd. Take I-279, exit 6C onto Ft. Duquense Blvd. Drive three blocks and you ll see it on the right, just past the third stoplight. I saw this one, too, when I was going to the Duquense Incline and taking the Ducks Tour.Also in PA, there are giant Amish Statues in Lancaster. In Indiana, there s a giant tennis shoe in Newcastle. It s off of I-70 by the All American Inn.Also in Indiana, there s the Giant Santa Claus Statue in Santa Claus. It s not on a main interstate, but intersting to see. It s on Hwy 245.Mentone, IN, has the world s largest egg. Mentone is located in Northcentral IN. It s located on Main St, so you ll have to get off the highway to see it.Ohio: Cleveland has the World s Largest Stamp. It s located two blocks from the Rock and Roll Halll of Fame. I saw this one when I visited Cleveland. New York: there s the Big Duck in Flanders, NY. Take I-495/Long Island Expwy, Exit 71. Turn right on Edwards Ave, at traffic circle take third exit onto Flanders Rd, go about 2 1/2 miles and duck will be on the left.Check out this website for more odd attractions in each state:http://www.roadsideamerica.com
If you re doing it in 16 hours there isn t really much to see en route.Suggestion:Top off your tank in Stroudsburg PA so that you can do the run across I-80 PA w/o looking for a gas stationThen gas and food in Youngstown before get on the OH TPKGas in IN after you get off of the Indiana Toll Road b/c gas in IN is always cheaper than it is in IL
