O'Charley's: Unsliceable Rolls
grandmaR Says: We ate dinner at nearby O'Charley's. This was another chain that I had never heard of, probably because there are none in Maryland. We had to wait awhile for a table. It seemed to be quite the local place to go and many people who were waiting for tables appeared to know...
davecallahan Says: For dinner, Shoneys has a great menu of "american" food.Burgers, Sandwiches, Fish and Chicken Strips, Chicken Breast, Steaks, Chef Salads.You can also choose from a limited selection of seafood items, spaghettis and soups.We had the Southern Fried Chicken Salad with...
gkitzmil Says: After a visit to two bourbon distilleries and some tasting (just sipping mind you) we did not want a wild night. But the hotel bar had such a good selection of bourbons -- some we'd not tried, that we enjoyed sipping more after dinner. Nice bar with a waterfall behind it.

Completely Kentucky: Kentucky Potpourri
davecallahan Says: It wasn't exactly completely Kentucky because I did not see the kitchen sink for sale but they had just about everything else.Figurines, knick-knacks, salt-pepper sets, wooden carvings, jams/jellies, sauces, beverages, pies, cheeses, coffees, ornamented glasses and mugs,...
davecallahan Says: Frankfort is about average in crime risk for most crimes but murder and theft are well above the normal risk levels. There are over 60 sex offenders registered in Frankfort. That is about 1 offender for every 500 people.That does not make Frankfort an overly dangerous place...

Helpfulness
Public golf course in the capital of Kentucky; owned and operated by the county/city.
The establishment will celebrate 50 years of service in 2008.
$25 gets a cart and 18 holes (5700 yards short, 6400 yards long).
There are no practice areas on this course and food is available off-site.
There is a dress code of shirt and shorts or long pants.
The course itself is made for mountain goats (cart is a must). Elevated tees and greens with sinuous fairways. Trees block line-of-sight on the doglegs and bunkers guard most greens.
The signature hole is a thread-the-needle type of fairway where the trees block your view of the lake you must then shoot over on the approach shot to the green. Be sure you have extra balls with you.
The greens are relatively flat and true; bent grass that is kept short and tuns fast in summer heat. The fairways are bluegrass which tends to slow the roll of the ball.

grandmaR Says: While I was occupied in the History Center, Bob walked around Lexington. He took my camera (which I left in the trunk of the car) and took a photo of the hand dug railroad tunnel which was next to the station, and also the sign about it. I had already taken a photo of the...
