    The giant Jesus in Eureka Springs is definitely worth a visit–and the pageant they put on–you haven’t lived until you’ve heard Jesus with an Arkansas accent!

    Loved the Palm Springs Show. I haven’t laughed so long in a while. Wish you could make it out here to the bible belt in the Sodom and Gomorrah town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas

    Charles, if you EVER make it to Tampa/Orlando, I am SO there! :) Maybe you could do something special at Disney or Universal. :)

    Loved your video tour. We have a fab Fire History Museum in Hudson, NY. I am a vintage clothing dealer and also loved the vintage slides, sorry to miss the Palm Spring Retro slide show. Keep up the good work!
