( freakish floating fetus in jars, ten lb. tumor etc) and the towns residents (dress of the local 700lb woman, fleas dressed as bride and groom).
More weird fun than you should be allowed.
I could say something cute here like
" It will  scare the hell out of you!"
But that should be all too accurate.
Twenty citizens murdered by the state
and more than one hundred and fifty
imprisoned and tortured in
a frenzy of fear and ignorance.
And you thought McCarthyism was bad.

Mr. Bolden made people.
I cannot rave enough about this place.
Not only is the food fantastic (we ate there everyday during our last stay) BUT they also have several vegetarian selections. You must order a bowl (not just a cup) of the Gumbo Z'Herbes. Get it with a veggie Po-Boy. Try the Vegatarian dish of the day-Creole Style! Be sure to sit outside in the courtyard and drink a Mint Julip or two in our honor.
in the FQ makes the best Muffalettas and you can get 'em with out the meats. Be sure to pick up a couple jars of Olive salad (their own recipe) and a few jars of Remoulade!

We like goin' places. Leslie and I get to take the occasional road trip and that's what I like best. We never seem  to have enough time
but sometimes we're able to just get lost and gone . Seein' what's the latest in lawn ornaments in Middle-Kentucky.  What sorta snack items they got outside Chattanooga,TN vs. east of Humptulips,WA. And whodathunk
Andy Capp, that lovable British, drunken, wife-beating comic strip charachter would
have his own brand of  american junk food?
Its' America.  We're big, we're weird, and we like our country just a little on the trashy side. Hell, we got class we ain't even used yet.
You want the world's largest concrete prairie dog? We got 'em. National Corn Husking Championships? Yup. Umbrella Cover Museum? Sure. Got that, too. Ever notice
Los Angeles ain't in  France? Vegas sure as heck ain't in Ireland.  Alright then. Before I
start gettin' all jingoistic on ya' why don't you pack up the rig and hit the back-roads? You paid for it. Might as well drive it, buddy.
Get real,real gone for a change.
Here's some sites to see.

When we got to the river it was as good as dark, and the river was only a big space you could hear.                                                                                                                                                                                                 -Richard Ford
