Magnum fans in Kentucky
Martin Eden
Are there any Magnum fans who live in Kentucky? I going to have a couple of
days off from school soon. It is my intention to get away for a while; and,
I am wondering: are there anyone here that is familiar with Kentucky? I
have been through it many times before, but that has always been on my way
to Florida.
Could anyone tell me what would be of interest of I go? I was thinking of
visiting some horse farms or national park. Are there any parks that are
well-know and worth seeing? Is there a small town that is worth checking
out?
Thanks for any assistance,
Martin Eden
P.s. I did a search on Google, but I still think first hand experience is
best.

There are MPI fans in every state. ;-)

Since you ask about state parks and small towns specifically, I'll
recommend my favorite park and town in all of Kentucky. ...Even if in
doing so I risk the ill favor of those who are (or at least wish to
appear so) easily shocked and dismayed by items that are, shall we say,
best not shared with the little ones.
If you should happen to be on I-75 a few miles south of Cincinnati,
Martin, I recommend exiting onto southbound US 42/127. Go down a way
and you'll find yourself in the lovely little town of Beaverlick. I'm
not kidding. Stop at any gas station there and ask for directions to the
Beaverlick Trading Post. It's a terrific little store of local interest.
From there, you can pick up or ask for directions to the nearby state park
which, in the interest of gender equality I guess, is called Bigbone Lick
State Park. :-)
I know, I know, those of you in the know. These names aren't really lewd
at all. In northern Kentucky, "lick" is the name for any dry creek bed.
Saying beaver lick is as innocent as saying beaver creek. The state park
got its name because, if I recall correctly, the fossilized skeleton of an
ancient whooly mammoth once was discovered in its dry creek bed (thus, Big
Bone Lick).
Earlier in my mis-spent youth (notice I say "earlier" rather than "back
during" -- I'm not so sure my mis-spent youth is yet a thing of the past),
when still a CMU Chippewa, I had several occasions to find myself
lollygagging with fellow students through, in and out of old 'Tucky. We
always had a great time there. Drove down for a few football games in
Lexington over the years, when CMU would play (read: lose to) U.K. Have
passed through many times to and from Panama City or New Orleans. Last
time in Kentucky was Mother's Day '98. I was speeding up I-65 on the
south side of Louisville when I got nailed doing something like 80 in a 55.
I know, hardly safe of me. But I had good reason! We of alt.tv.magnum-pi
had an IRC chat session planned for that very afternoon and I still was
hours south of Detroit! I missed the chat but had a good story to tell
here when I got back. :-|
Hope y'all are enjoying the chance to watch our Red Wings today. They're
on ABC Sports. They're in Philadelphia...a weekend ahead of me, actually.
Go Wings! I wonder why T.S. never supported the Red Wings the show? He
always has said his reason for bringing the Tigers cap on was because
"they needed some help back then." Well, the Wings needed help in the
early-to-mid '80s too. They were alot less successful in the '80s than
were the Tigers, I dare say. But I suppose baseball is much more T.S.'s
game than is hockey.

Rock City - - see seven states.
Some friends lived in a little town about 30 miles out of nashville -
-where th dairy dip was the landmark . .. Murfreesboro. I think the
Saturn factory is there now -- I would like to see that, with their
philosphy and all.
The horse farms looked wonderful. I remember green pastures and white
fences and beautiful animals.
Stuckey's. Pralines. Humidity.
i would love to go to a bourbon distillery. Just to smell it. . .. I
hardly drink any more, but do respet craftsmanhip.
Hope this helps.

Don't they make baseball bats in Kentucky? H & B Louisville Slugger. Being a
BIG baseball fan I would find it interesting to see the process. Maybe Phil
Rizzuto, former Yank shortstop, might be there. Or was it Pee Wee Reese,
former Dodger SS who worked for them?
BTW my brother-in-law called the other night and said he had a ticket for me
to see the Milwaukee Brewers home opener April 6. It will be the official
opening game of new Miller Park. They televised an exhibition opener Friday
and the new digs look great. Can't wait!

Don't know about Kentucky, but there is a Nashville in Indiana.

Nashville and the Saturn factory in Kentucky..
Because of that one building - -Nashvill called itself the Athens of the
South.
Of course, Athens in Greece immediately began to bill itself as the
Nashville of Greece.
I put Rock City in Kentucky, too, when I know it is just north of
Atlanta. . . does it still exist??? On rocks all over the East, are
there still faint signs of paint urging one to see seven states and buy
pralines??
Horses,, and pralines. . I gotta be right about SOMETHING.
Martin Eden
Thanks for this information. I did some searching on the place in Kentucky
that you mentioned. Right now, it is VERY high on my list.
I will be taking a camera when I go. I will have my pictures developed
digitally, and I will share it with you guys.
Best,
Martin Eden

Rest assured, Rock City lives, but with pollution, you now can see
2 states, GA and TN. Just kidding...kind of. :)

I now work as a host at the .300 club at Miller Park. The club is private and is
located on the third level down the left field line behind the foul pole and
next to Bernie's slide. It will be the glassed in area.
The park is simply magnificent! Selig was right!
Only you and other "bubbler afficinindos" will appreciate the fact that one part
of my responsibilities is to let Bernie Brewer in from his slide area to take a
break after the sevceth inning stretch!
Hey Michael you are not ditching school are you?
Remember the President will be throwing out the first pitch so allow your self
extra time to enter the park
I wish I could figure a way to meet you. One needs a pass to get into the .300
club and unfortunately I am not at the front door. The needs of the business
determine when my shift is over so I can't give you a time to meet at Fan zone
or the Hot Corner. Well maybe next time. Any way you are in for a treat!
Enjoy! Best Wishes Tom

No problem! It didn't count any way. What could have been cruel was when
Eldred, former Brewer, hit R. Sexson. Glad he was not hurt.
Remember my brother taking me to a Sox series back in '59 when they played
the Orioles. Was featured on cover of Sports Illustrated. Go Go Sox!! My
favorite player was Gary Peters lefty pitcher.

Regarding ditching school, in a sense yes. I teach physical education and I
am taking my personal day. We get one per year. Reason for taking personal
day is so we can leave early (2:30) to avoid presidential motorcade. Takes
one hour from Sheboygan.
I am familiar with .300 Club location from watching the exhibition game on
TV. If I get a chance I will stop by the restaurant and give a holler, sort
of. I know you will be busy but a quick wave is enough. I will be the guy in
the Brewer cap. That should tip you off.
I almost was a worker at Miller Park. Our church is sponsoring a concession
stand to raise funds for the athletic teams at St. Dominic's. I was unable
to attend any of the training sessions and therefore am not allowed to work.
Wanted to help church athletics but more selfish was being at opening day
even though I would not have been able to watch much.

Well, my closest experience was in ROTC, but civilians normally do not salute,
only active duty, and I guess retired, military.

Right, but even active or retired military wouldn't salute in civilian
clothes. Notice that he *is* standing at attention.

New or old style brewer cap?
If you get a chance ask the greeter if he will run me down. I 'd love to meet
you.
If not have a great time at Magnum, I mean Miller Park!

I think you are just going to be amazed when you attend opening day. If you have
time and want to chance it I am a host at the .300 club. Since the club is private,
I doubt if I can get you inside. However, If you ask the greeter if he would run me
down it would be great to meet you.
Whatever, just have a great time. Do you know about the eagle? I won't ruin the
surprise, but I am willing to bet it will be one the the best US National anthem
ceremonies that any one has ever seen.
Regards, Tom
