Yet beneath the quirky sculptures and local customs, there is the sad and understated tale of a disappearing small-town America, desperately hanging on to the last shreds of history or the faintest glimmer of a future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directed by Amy Elliott, Elizabeth Donius What makes a man want to build the world&#8217;s biggest lava lamp?
