When we got to our seats, we saw that the background on the stage said "Divas of Soul" and at 7 PM the audience was informed that it was a 90 minute show with an intermission. We felt like we were totally misled about the show, even though it was good. My husband and I ended up missing our dinner reservation because of the length of the show. Do better Alhambra!!! Advertise your show and times correctly. We drove 2 1/2 hours to see a Tina Turner show and that's not what we were given. On the plus side the theater is beautiful. And everyone was exceptionally nice.

June 19,2020 Friday. The Pennyroyal Area Museum is one of the best city attractions in…read moreHopkinsville. It use to be a post office in 1915. Despite its small size, it is the only museum in Hopkinsville with African American history and Edgar Cayce exhibits. The $5 admission fee was satisfactory. Hillary and Alissa, the museum staff, were very nice and helpful. I greatly appreciated the museum kit provided to me with pencils, postcards, a recipe card, and museum tokens to use. The museum is very interactive and child friendly. I love reading the weird and wonderful facts exhibits throughout the museum about the goblins, the Nightriders, the blackbird invasion, and Blind Mary. The Edgar Cayce exhibit was my favorite. I spent most of my time there. If you go to the museum, make sure to write on a museum postcard there. The museum will provide the post card, a stamp, and mail it for you. One of the unique features of the museum is the blackbirds flying all over the museum and perched on random places all over the museum like the ladies bathroom. Membership is $25 and gives you a year full of free museum admissions and discounts. I may seriously consider buying membership.

My family is currently living in Hopkinsville, KY and we were there for two days this past week…read more So we decided to see what this place is all about historically and visit the Pennyroyal (pronounced Pennyrile) Museum, built in 1914. They have a gift shop and a small museum that is pretty spooky (awesome). If you are city folk like us looking to feel slightly uncomfortable in Christian County, then this place is only $2.00 per adult and open during most business hours. The main reason we wanted to visit was the Hopkinsville Goblins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly-Hopkinsville_encounter), documents sightings of alien in the area terrorizing a family on their farm. But, that is not the only main creepy feature for you: there is also turn of the century maternity ward equipment, Nightrider Masks, Puppeteer exhibit, and don't forget Edgar Cayce. All with a strange smell in a dark environment. I had no idea that there was so much cool stuff to come out of Hopkinsville. And, the downtown area is a must see, as well as the beautiful historical houses in the area. My favorite was actually the turn of the century bedroom set, looms, and fireplace in the upstairs portion of the building.

This little detour was a fun discovery. We actually have visited this place twice, years apart. Our…read morefirst visit was somewhat planned. Hubs actually was exploring our route and discovered this place so we bookmarked it in case we had time. Both times we visited, we were kind of strapped for time so we have yet to go on the tour. They do allow for tastings of their many boozes but they limit it to 6 or 8, which is very smart. I think we did not have that many our recent trip. Since we purchased 6 bottles our first trip (they give a discount for 6+ bottles), we were already familiar and wanted to try some of their new items. Both times we visited, we brought in our dog and she received a lot of attention. They have dog toys so of course I had to buy her one each time. Now those are really expensive! The prices vary for their bottles, maybe averaging about $55. Some are cheaper and many are more expensive than that. They also sell merchandise in the same room you do the tastings. We never have time but they do free tours and I wanna say they last about 45 minutes. It is in the middle of nowhere so it's not like you can make a day out of it any stay in town, while filling up an entire itinerary for a day. We really enjoy their bourbon and keep stock of the Blueberry and Mint Julep flavored bourbons. Everyone is always hospitable when we visit and that motivated us more to support them!

Have you ever found a place by kismet or fate in Clarksville, TN or Fort Campbell, KY? I did and…read morethis was the place! A stranger told me I should go to Valhalla's Gate after giving her a lot of books. She then asked me if I read Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss. She was the fourth stranger to ask me that, and I did read it. I took that as a sign from the Universe. So I went to the place and it reminded me so much of St. Augustine, Florida. It is a mystical hippie dippie trippy world hidden in this small town. If you want an otherworldly perspective of the Clarksville, TN and Fort Campbell, KY area, wander into Valhalla's Gate (209 Dover Road in Clarksville, TN 37042). It is the area's only Norse based Pagan and metaphysical store with tea leaf, tarot reading, and unique events. They carry local artisan products and the funniest wicked candles in the world. I came here for an aura photography session recently. Amazing!
