OT: Off-Topic, again.

I do the same and I second Horse Cave if you are on I-65. That was our stop for years on our way to SE Ohio. We don't anymore because we discovered Bardstown on Bluegrass Pkwy once it started growing.

They've also added a Buc-ee's recently between that and Franklin but I can't remember the exit. I'll check today as we are heading up there for the weekend because my nephew is getting married.

I passed that Buc-ee's during my spring break visit to Nashville. Traffic was backed up at least half a mile off of the exit on the way down but wasn't an issue on the way back up. I went once, I think it was Crossville, not my cup of tea but I see the appeal for some people. It also seems like a decent job, I hear they pay well relative to other retailers.

It's busy but they roll people through there. Clean bathrooms are a big deal for the wife so that's a factor too.

Per Nissan Stadium social media, the show has been postponed until tomorrow due to inclement weather. It'll be inconvenient for people traveling long distances for this, but it's for the best.

Yep that wound up being a mess for us- we had just made it to Franklin from Birmingham around 3:00 right when they announced it. So we had to turn right around head back home- a 7 hour round trip for absolutely nothing. And we missed by about 2 minutes that horrible storm that hit Franklin with golf ball sized hail. Just not a good day at all.

They waited way too long to postpone- everyone knew that weather was coming and by waiting so long a ton of people, including us, were already headed downtown, putting a lot of people in unnecessary danger. Oh well

But we were able to make it to the concert Wednesday and it was INCREDIBLE- well worth the wait and hassle.

For the record the Buc-ee's on I-65 is exit 38 at Smiths Grove just north of Bowling Green.

We had that happen with a concert in Columbus a few years ago. We'd made plans with one of my HS friends to go together so he and his wife drove there from the Dayton area and Mr Adz and I drove up from Nashville. After we were both in hotels and settled in the concert was canceled due to illness, hours before it was scheduled. We were able to find something to do but it was, in essence, a wasted trip other than getting to see each other. Over a year later the concert was made up in early April, 3 weeks before we had made plans with T and L for the eclipse (it was 4 minutes of totality near their house, we'd been planning it since the eclipse in 2019 in Nashville!) So after not seeing each other for a few years we saw each other 3 times in around a year. It was great! Still, I'd have preferred NOT having a second set of expenses for hotel, etc.
