Comments: Some buddies and I drove to the place recently. There seem to be stormy weather around evening. The cost of housing have jumped since the last time we were here. This place sure has plenty of outgoing folks pumping gas. In the afternoon traffic is congested. For some real enjoyment, check out Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum. You won't be disappointed.
