13 strange things you'll see on the way to Ontario cottage country:

1. Multiple wax candle outlets.
2. The 'Dock in a Box' store--did it come before the J.T. and Samburg SNL skit?
3. A line up approximately 1km long outside the Mandarin Chinese buffet restaurant in Barrie.
4. A condemned hotel and joint restaurant with the sign "WARNING: this building is condemned and is being torn down. Stay out." Not so weird? True. But the fact this sign has been there since the early 1970s? Kinda of weird.
5. The Big Curve Farm--home to every imaginable animal on the sun, all of whom are romping together in the same big field.
6. Two giant 24-7 Candy Shoppes.
7. What Orange refers to as the "Dick Boat" store, specializing in oddly named monster boats (like "Rock Hit Ship"... get it?)
8. A burger shop that gets so redonk busy with cottage country traffic they've built a walking overpass across the 400 N to avoid car accidents and traffic jams.
9. A used golf cart outlet.
10. A store specializing in neon plug-in palm trees.
11. The always familiar and exciting Highway Recyclers, which still narrowly manages to avoid spilling out onto the road.
12. Camp Hillbilly, whose 'luxury camp sites' boarder a major highway. Who's staying here?
13. A porn shop.
