Rolando Pujol: American Roadside Stories & the Towns That Inspired Our Favorite Haunts | Road Gang Radio

On this special Road Gang Radio episode, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler welcome journalist, storyteller, and “Retrologist” Rolando Pujol — a man whose love for the American roadside has taken him from the streets of New York City to the heart of small-town America.

Born and raised in Sleepy Hollow, Rolando has always had an eye for the places where history, folklore, and pop culture collide. In this Halloween-inspired chat, he takes us on a nostalgic road trip through some of the most legendary American locales:

Sleepy Hollow, NY — Home of the Headless Horseman

Westfield, NJ — Birthplace of The Addams Family

Salem, MA — Witches, “Bewitched,” and small-town lore

Rolando also shares how his lifelong fascination with storytelling, travel, and forgotten Americana evolved into The Retrologist, his beloved Substack and Instagram project dedicated to uncovering the hidden corners of America’s roadside past.
