550 miles today through southern Ohio, Kentucky, and western Tennessee. Never been to Memphis before and I have to say, I like it. Dinner tonight was had at the Blues City Cafe on Beale Street. Combination: barbeque ribs, blues, Monday Night Football, and beer. What’s not to like?
Here are a couple of random impressions from the road today:
- In southern Ohio, an enormous church compound, Solid Rock Church (with a truly disturbing Jesus partially submerged in a pond with a fountain making the sign of touchdown) next door to Trader’s World. Could it be they’re part of the same business?
- In Kentucky, a water tower that simply says “Florence Y’all”
- In Tennessee, Nervous Charlie’s Fuel (and Fireworks!)

Glad to hear you’re having a good time bro. It’s funny what sticks out, cause I’ve talked to lots of folx about Nervous Charlie’s! Man I love roadside attractions and the weirdness of Americana. Enjoy that town. It’ll love you back!
