More Just Outside of Atlanta

Stone Mountain is also cool -- and some living friends, too! :)

An Atlanta Friend

I don't think I ever blogged about meeting this buddy at the Coca-Cola Factory in Atlanta!

Lots in Louisville

I saw the Mohammed Ali Museum, the 21 C Hotel, and Churchill Downs. I ate at Lynn's Paradise Café, and had a "hot brown" later. But on a baseball trip, where I saw the Pirates, Reds, and Phillies, it seemed most appropriate to post the following picture:

After all, without bats, the game of baseball would be quite different, dontcha think? :)

My Underrated Trip Continues in the Queen City

I didn't really think about this before, but most of the cities I visited on this trip are not hyped up a whole lot, at least in my experience. Cincinnati is steeped in history, and its proximity to the North-South demarcation of our country contributed to its relevance in the war on slavery. I enjoyed Mt. Adams and the Purple People Bridge, as well as the Reds game I saw, but the highlight was definitely the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

Colombus, Ohio -- Another Underrated City

The Book Loft -- A very nice 32 room store. Not picture, which I uncharacteristically did not see -- Columbus is Buckeye mad for sports!

Underrated Pittsburgh

My view and scrumptious dinner from Lamont's on Mount Washington in Pittsburgh:

The Choo Choo Barn in Amish Country

Not just for kids! Incredible train models!
