Interesting weekend

Once in a blue moon. I'm about an hour and a half west of there. I guessed that was probably where you were referring to.

Several years ago walking out of there on Halloween, I walked past a guy who looked remarkably like Elvis. Then in the parking lot I walked past a Firebird or Camaro (I think) that had a huge, detailed portrait of Elvis on the hood. It was tacky, awesome, and beautiful all at once

Whassamatter? Are you opposed to free entertainment?

Yeah, I'm about two and a half hours Northeast of there.
You did know that Elvis is known to hang out at the Silver Star on Halloween didn't you?

Actually, I was surprised to see Elvis there rather than him being out trick-or-treating and leaving numerous buildings.

I know where Northport is. When I was a kid, my parents would always make a stop at a package store there when we traveled to Tuscaloosa or Birmingham. We lived just across the state line, and MS was still a dry state at the time. Thank goodness for progress and enlightenment

Some time ago the river flooded Northport and that package store was underwater. In the cleanup, all the bottles of liquor had to be taken out front and smashed under the guard of the Alabama State Troopers. You should have seen all the old men standing around almost crying.

Now that is a tragedy. I'm sure my folks are rolling over in their graves.
