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!

Consider this your official pilgrimage notice. The Superman Museum in Metropolis, Illinois is a…read moreholy shrine you didn't know you needed to add to your road trip itinerary. I am not a hardcore Superman follower. I went in not knowing what to expect and walked out genuinely impressed. This is not a polished museum experience. It is an enormous, sprawling, slightly overwhelming collection of Superman memorabilia that someone dedicated their entire life to assembling. Much respect to the passion and dedication this took. The front of this establishment is a gift shop packed with Superman (and other superhero) giftware. If you want to see the actual collection you pay a little extra and head into an entire different adjacent room. This space if filled with little trinkets all the way up to full collector pieces, costumes, props, and items spanning decades of Superman across every format. They even have pieces from Lois and Clark, the 1990s TV series, which I absolutely watched as a kid. If you are anywhere close to Metropolis, just go. Budget an hour, pay the few dollars, and go see the "museum". You don't have to be a Superman superfan to appreciate the sheer scale of what one collector put together. It's worth the detour. Up, up, and away.

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!!

There wasn't too many additions to Franklin Street since I was last here but Mildred and Mable was unfamiliar so I walked in. I've been in shops like this before and I figured I would just browse and be done with it. I wandered around and I did end up finding some things to buy and then meandered my way to the counter. While I was being rung up I asked what time the store closes and was told 6. I checked my watch and it was 6:15. I walked in at closing time, wasn't told they were closing and was still allowed to browse. I immediately apologized for coming in when it was closed and just as quickly was told it was fine; stuff like that goes a long way with me.
