Description:

From the interstate you can see why Charles Stewart is doing such good business. He's populated the entrance to his modest rock shop business with a number of large handmade dinosaurs. Some of the dinosaurs have motors in them to make them move. Others are outfitted with Christmas lights and blink all night. Still others have bloody half eaten bodies n their bloody mouths! This is all visible from the interstate urging the curious to investigate what exactly they're seeing. Charles envisioned his statues to depict, in his own words, "the beginning of time of living animals to the present day." And why are they eating those mannequins? His answer was, "Well, they got to be doing somethin'."
