Traveling with PugsleyTonks

What is Traveling with PugsleyTonks all about?? My goal is the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that diamond in the rough or go to the out of the way small town. I want to visit the oldest bar in every state with hopes that they serve some PBR on tap. Find that unique "ma-pa" restaurant with an interesting blue collar atmosphere and large portions to match. Or, perhaps its as simple as a little walkabout in the city to discover that strange little statue or other oddities. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. Discover some obscure attraction or learn some useless information. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

CHALLENGE

4,192

CHALLENGE Answered – Where’s Carol?

I realize that not all readers are currently in daily agony as their baseball team anemically battles for the third wild card position. So, to be sensitive to the non-Reds fans, I will be quick and concise in answering the CHALLENGE.

All the relevant information is revealed in the second picture above. Carol was at the Cincinnati Reds’ Hall of Fame. Thus, the board was a very large tribute to the Hit King, Peter Edward Rose. Pete Rose broke the major league hit record of 4,192, then went on to set the new mark of 4,256. As I hope is obvious, there is one baseball for every one of Pete’s hits. Sadly, they are just random baseballs…not actually the real baseballs hit by Pete.

So ends the official answer to the CHALLENGE…have a wonderful day. PT

There was no way that I could publish this post without a few more pictures from the Reds Hall of Fame…

OK, enough shameless and selfish promotion of my team. Well, just one more thing…

That is my hand in the other Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. It points to the spot on the wall where Peter Edward Rose belongs. FREE PETE!
