ON THE ROAD

Hearst Castle is pretty cool. Wife and I took a visit there on a whim a couple years ago and we are planning to go back this summer to see all the stuff we didn't in a day. There are like four different tours of the place, that is how big it is.

 

Bars in Fort Worth? I love the Flying Saucer, but don't really know of any others. Suggestions?

 

'Gola, I'm a big fan of 8.0 (Eight-oh, if you're directing a cabbie), though it's kind of a hipster-type place, a little dressier than most people like. Collared shirt, at least, not sure if they allow shorts. In the summer they open doors and windows and have a patio where you can hear live music sometimes. And they have couches, which always is cool with me.

 

I love couches and I love patios, none of which we have here in West Texas. I will check it out, though if wearing pants is a requirement, I am not sure, but otherwise I will check it out.
Thanks.

 

got to cover a game in Miami this fall. I've actually stayed in the Doral area before, and it seemed all right

is that the best/safest place to stay? where else? and what areas should I avoid at all costs?

thanks

 

Do not stop anywhere near the airport or the Orange Bowl.

Fly into Fort Lauderdale if you can.

 

OKC, anyone?

Restaurants, where to stay, attractions?

 

Brick Town - eating joints, hotels and things to see.

I'm headed to Atlanta and Athens for a Georgia Tech-Georgia doubleheader (well, only about a half of Tech-Samford before heading to Athens).

Staying in downtown Atlanta, and I need assistance on eating and drinking places, travel, and parking situations at Georgia Tech and UGA.

Thanks in advance.

 

I didn't make it there the last time I was in OKC, but I heard Tapwerks is a cool place to go, especially if you like beer. They have more than 100 beers from all over the world.

Going to be in Jacksonville soon. Any good, late-night local eats with reasonable proximity to I-95 or the bypass?

 

I would just go to The Landing if I was there on the weekend. Jax Beach is cool and has some great spots, but it's out of the way
