  6. Almost forgot -- Sioux City is hometown of Ann Landers, Dear Abby, Western Swing standard "Sioux City Sue," tragic rock guitar star Tommy Bolin, "Tank Girl" punk pinup Lori Petty, Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich, Fred Grandy ('Gopher' from the Love Boat), and Gateway Computer founder Ted Waitt.

    And Jerry Mathers as the Beaver!

    If your ever in Northern Ohio.....Check out Brunswick, Ohio...During summer on a Saturday evening you'll find one of the largest car cruise in's anywhere.It's been happening for as long as I can remember. On any given Saturday night there is anywhere from 500 to over 1000 cars on hand!!
     
  24. Well don't come to KC nuthin' here and no one to see.

    Although gas is down to around 1.35 and I'm working around 60 hours a week so I'm not sure about the high gas price and tough economic times thingy.
