Big Idaho® Potato Hotel

How do you dispose of a 6-ton spud made of steel, plaster and concrete? You don’t. You recycle it and turn it into the Big Idaho® Potato Hotel, the only potato hotel in the world!

I once made a day trip to SOB for fireworks before Phantom popped up in Breezewood. I left at 0300 and got back around 5 or 6 that evening. My left arm was darker than my right the rest of the summer.

Reminds me that I have a $400 credit up at Phantom..May have to make a run in the near future.

I hope the sombrero steak house will stay. That was a super cool restaurant. Monello and I went just because, you know, sombrero.....and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was.

When the kid and I did our yearly east coast tours we always had a meal at Pedros Steakhouse.

This whole thread reminds me, whatever happened to Stuckey’s?

used to see those billboards all over the place. 19 miles to Stuckey’s… Only 13 miles to Stuckey’s… 5 miles to Stuckey’s Pecan Pie.
