I had forgotten I had started this book a couple months ago. (Holidays, visits from your kids, a big-long-awaited vacation will do that.) It was a fun little read. I imagine many of the places he visited are now defunct. But then again, maybe not. As such, the tourist places Bill Geist wrote about in this book might or might not exist anymore. However, I found his humor entertaining. And, having grown up in a small town myself, and living in another one now, I could "see" some of my own hometown characters in the people Geist met. I could imagine many of them as my neighbors. Entertaining little book.
