You'd love Nevady, it's got ghost towns by the score. A knockout
little RR museum too, with the most gorgeous operating train engines
from 130 years ago...

Anderson,South Carolina was the first City in the South to have
continous electricity.
http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=10693

Howsoever, before that and before any Cities up North had continous
electricity, electricity was only available for two or three hours in
the evenings.
The old electricity power plant in Buffalo,New York was restored years
ago for the tourist people to look at.

I don't know when Mississippi first had electricity.The big old house
where I was born in Carthage was built by my grandfather and his brother
back in the early 1900s.That house was the first house in Carthage to
have electricity, we had indoor plumbing too.I remember the old style
twisted insulated wires and the white porcelain insulators.Back in the
1970's, I disconnected the double row push button light switch that was
in the hallway by the front door.(nobody was living there anymore) I
brought that old light switch home with me, I still have that old light
switch right here.

Shores.(Daytona,Florida) I have been there a few times before.

I enjoyed going to the Breezeshooters hamfest at the Butler Fairgrounds
regularly until I moved to the West Coast 10 years ago. I really do miss it.
It made for a nice laid back day in the country. Also, I seem to remember
that the organizers really had a nack for picking the same day that a big
thunderstorm would roll through.

When I was a lot younger, i thought rain was a part of the fest. Also,
remember going to the Brasspounders fest. White Swan Park. and, old
McDonalds Crossroads. Gee, I must be getting old, I remember when
Two Rivers was held at/ behind the Green Valley fire-hall/ station.
Wow, that takes me back. another great one was the Goodyear fest at
Wing-Foot Part in Oh-hi. best part about the Goodyear fest was, first
prize was a ride in the blimp! and, last but not least, Tri-counties.
fest, PIE fest, and that big one down West Va. at Wheeling park.
gee, i am getting old. But, the Butler fest has always been a don't
miss for me. got my tickets first of May. always support your local
club; closest to me is the Foothills and Summerset clubs.
