[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 426149, member: 6277"] I have checked out all the tours and have found a couple that I will not miss. The cemetery tour is high on my list along with the riverboat tour. I was there a number of years ago but I was working the entire time and did not get a chance to see or do anything. I really want to find the things that are not on the tourist lists, things the locals enjoy doing/seeing/eating. I had a boss many years ago that would visit a couple times a year and ride with me to visit my photo labs. He would have me stop at a local hardware store or where ever he thought local people might be congregating. He would then ask where they liked to eat. If they gave the name of a chain restaurant he would tell them no and then ask "If you were going to carry your wife out tonight for a casual meal where would you go?" They would then tell us some hole in the wall place. They were generally some of the best food you could get. I have been doing this for 20 years now and have had some very unique meals in some unique places. Most of the time the food and service is outstanding. On a few occasions we have walked in and turned around and walked out but that does not happen to often. [/QUOTE]
