She said she had "lots" at home and asked if we lived in the area. We said no, but would be passing through again in a few weeks. She promised to bring in 40 quilts if we would call ahead, which we did. Made an appointment for noon on Monday and scheduled our return trip from Gainesville FL so that we would be on time. Arrived promptly at noon and were back on the road by 10 after. She had not had time to bring in the quilts! An hour detour for nothing. Won't go back....and to those hordes of shoppers they are expecting from the Paducah Quilt Show, don't get your hopes up folks! The few low quality quilts that are there are salted with imported quilts!!

I'm a pretty big fan of off-the-wall, random attractions in the middle of nowhere. The Super Museum…read morefalls perfectly in that category! Know ahead of time that Metropolis, IL is cute and charming as heck. But besides this, there is pretty much nothing else to do besides Harrah's Casino, so I'd recommend it more as a road trip stop rather than spending a weekend here. You can easily be in and out within 2 hours max. The Super Museum, however, was a LOT more than I expected! This collection of Superman memorabilia is insane, and has so many pieces that are decades old, from many of the films, and some random, quirky stuff. The tickets were only about 8 bucks and you can spend as long as you'd like in there. They've got a pretty awesome gift shop, too! This is a really neat attraction to stop at if you're driving through Southern Illinois!

I was really excited to finally visit the Superman Museum in Metropolis, but the experience left me…read morefeeling pretty let down. In their defense, it was a Sunday afternoon and most things in town were closed -- which is understandable -- but the museum itself was open. I stepped into the gift shop first and immediately felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of Superman merchandise. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Superman fan, but most of it felt like stuff I could easily find online. After wandering around the shop for a bit, I honestly lost interest and never even bought a ticket to see the actual museum exhibits. The town itself does have some nice touches -- there are several cool murals and statues scattered around, which were highlights. Unfortunately, the place felt like a bit of a ghost town that day, which made the whole experience fall flat. I'll probably give it another shot during their annual fair or on a weekday when more is open, but it'll be a while before I make the trip back. If you're a huge Superman fan, it might still be worth checking out, but manage your expectations -- especially if visiting on a Sunday afternoon. ----UPDATE---- After the staff reached out, I decided to bump up my review. Their passion for the museum really came through and I appreciated the response. As a huge Superman fan who grew up watching the original Christopher Reeve movies in theaters and collecting the classic TV shows, I expected something a little different. I'll definitely visit again on a weekday -- I'm sure the experience will be much better when I skip the gift shop and go straight into the museum. The gift shop was well stocked, but I personally wasn't looking to add more items to my collection. I mainly wanted to see old props, costumes, and classic collectible from the shows/movies and old toys.

We've been on vacation for 3 days and I hadn't had GREAT coffee until this. I got a latte and my hubs got regular medium roast. Both were quality coffee. I had to get a second latte- that's huge for me! The doughnuts- oh my! Hubs got a lemon filled; I got a cruller with chocolate. Fresh and fantastic! Hubs wanted a second lemon filled but they were sold out! We've been to several gifts shops on our trip to western Ky and this one actually has unique items! And souvenir shirts I'd never seen. Some of the products were associated with organizations that empower women in Uganda. Lovely! Sold!
