Well, there used to be a shop in Half Moon Bay south Of San Fran that had quite a few interesting pieces including Vincents, but being from the UK mebbe they're passe over there. I don't even know if the Shop is still there. But it was always a stop for me when I was by it.

When we were kids

I have not been their since I was about 8. Do they still have the painted plywood scene with the holes cut out where you can go behind it and get your picture taken. I think the scene was a cook with a large mallet about to slam it down on a butchers block. One hole was at the cooks face and the other was on the stump. That trip was so fun and from what I remember the soup was good too.

Here's where you really want to go...

http://www.barbermuseum.org/

Unfortunately it's way over on the other side of the US.

Maybe a different flight route on the way back home?

I think our good friend Lovel lives near here. Any tips?

This was a pretty cool place if you are in the area.

Nice because you take as many pictures and drool as much as you want right next to them!

sadly barber is waaaay out of my way lol even when i was in Nashville/Memphis its 200+ mile but i guess thats not such along way in the States.
Motosolvang is a possibility though i could go there and Gina potter around the outlets - could proove expensive though! i cant remember if its at a weekend.
I never get bored with vincents they are such lovely bit of engineering, there are always a couple down on Poole quay on Tuesdays.

Great feedback

Cheers
Clive
