cmh6476 834 Posted July 23 This place is kind of cool, actually. Interesting history being the first site of spring baseball back in the days of guys like Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth and negro league stars. And the mob boss history of gambling, prostitution and bootleg liquor. Basically was a safe haven for mobsters to vacation without fear of conflict from other mob bosses or law enforcement. Basically in the middle of nowhere, but not a bad spot to get away. Bathhouse row is pretty cool too. Headed to little rock and the Clinton library tomorrow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bath and massage on the list for tomorrow and probably end up there tomorrow for live music later. I've really enjoyed this trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's near Dumas, wherever the fock that is. They usually grow soybeans. My wife and I will inherit half that farm some day, and I'm going to insist that they grow weed.

cmh6476 834 Posted July 25 This has been a rather nice getaway. Had one of the best meals I ever ate yesterday in little rock at a place called cypress social. Hot Springs is fascinating. Going to a bath house today to see if it can cleanse my body of all it's impurities. Wish it luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
