Loved the description of the Frisco portion, and I can relate just being there last June. The food was ehhh. The Hard 8 BBQ was good, but obviously you wouldn’t eat there! The highways are something else, but I guess you can make them well when there’s an open template to do it, and lots of federal money.
The train museum will never open! The “Phoenix guy” is Len Herman while the NVGM guy was John Hardie, who is running things now with Joe back in NJ. I left the lighting great for photos!
The living room/bed room from the 80s was my favorite aspect. I think you went through them too quickly, because within the drawers and cabinets are many 80s memorabilia! In fact they have an arcade cabinet featuring an easter egg hunt within the museum.
