South of the Border is an attraction on Interstate 95 (I-95), US Highway 301 (US 301) and US 501 in Dillon, South Carolina, just south of Rowland, North Carolina. It is so named because it is just south of the border between North Carolina and South Carolina, and was the half way point to Florida from New York in the early days of motor travel. The area is themed in tongue-in-cheek, faux-Mexican style. The rest area contains restaurants, gas stations, a video arcade, and a motel, and truck stop as well as a small amusement park, a mini golf course, shopping and fireworks stores. Its mascot is Pedro, a caricature of a Mexican bandido. Most notable, though, is its clever marketing. South of the Border begins advertising itself with clever and catchy themes on roadside billboards from many miles away incorporating a mileage countdown to its destination in the process. Even the most hardened east coast travelers eventually become lured into stopping just to see what all the fuss is about. There is also a sky needle next to the gift shop. An even stranger fact is that South of the Border is the headquarters of arguably the best ginger ale on the planet. Blenheim ginger ale is produced from local South Carolina springs and comes in flavors hot and Nah. The stop has since fallen on hard times as more modern hotel areas (both to the north and south) have grown along I-95.
