DC: you're on your own dude. If you can't find something there......You're not alive.

Saturday night.......Wlliam's Grove: The best weekly sprint car show on the face of the earth.

Not much in Memphis. There is a hobby shop at 40 and 240 that runs 1/32 cars but nothing special. If you'd like to tour COMP cams PM me. We are just off 240 near the airport.

Memphis, the Peabody hotel - historic and very cool. Ducks ride the elevator from the roof to the lobby, walk the red carpet to the fountain every morning, return trip every evening, in grand style. There is a cool scale model of the Mississippi River basin you can walk in along the river, north of Beale St. Don't forget barbeque, dry or wet.... How much time you gonna have there exactly?

D.C. - too many options to list..... Air and Space museum or any other Smithsonian exhibit, all the monuments, the national zoo is free as well, great place for lunch. All you pay for is parking, if you can find it LOL. Stopped at Mt Vernon just south of DC last time, Monticello in Charlottesville a few years ago on the way back, took the skyline drive.... You could spend weeks.

North of PA? That's WILDERNESS, right?

If you are referring to the one in MS you will be saddened to know they closed it down. Something about illegal activity.

Illegal activity that involved the creative use of LEDs...

Printing their own money??? Jeez!! There was another printing outfit there in Memphis that made junk mail, but the name eludes me.. Got a ton of freight out of there, with some good west runs.. Tucson, Phoenix, Frisco, Houston.. All over the place.. Our trucking company was based out of Stantonville, TN. If it weren't for my kid, I'd prolly be doing it still.. :rolleyes:

I was referring to the bar not Quebecor. The bar was better known as the North Mississippi Center for the Performing Arts and they were caught giving customers extra "favors" if the money was right.

How far is Point Pleasant from Oak Hill, WV? Perhaps you should hit up Gary Butner.

I think we're talking about 2 different bars.. This one was across the street from Yahweh Ct. Of course things could have changed in 4 1/2 years..

The place I was referring to was a "Cabaret". I used to run around that area in high school back in the early 70's. It has changed quite a bit the last 10 years due to the casinos.

If you're going through Syracuse, consider giving Bob at SlotCarCentral (TubTrack) a call. Last time I talked to him at a show he mentioned if I ever get to Syracuse again to give him him a call. He doesn't have a storefront per se, but warehouses full of all manner of slot car goodies.
