Quest for Warmth-- Part 2 "Heart of Dixie"

PREBLE OR PRATTVILLE?

Writing from the Days Inn here in Prattville, Alabama, about ten miles north of Montgomery. This is the home of the Confederacy, but the motel was definitely overrun this morning, not with invading Yankees, but golfers. With all the baseball (er, golf) caps, I thought I was perhaps at a high school athletic contest. At least none of them were on backwards.

We found out about Prattville last night while playing NTN at Loco's in Birmingham and got to talking with a man at the bar. He mentioned this as a good place to stay if we were heading to Montgomery. Lots of restaurants, bars and motels.

We both were sure he said "Preble" but couldn't find it on GPS. Finally figured that he must have said Prattville as this place was close to where he said it was.

Must have been that Southern Drawl Thing you hear so much down and around here.

Good place though. The motel features a hot breakfast if the golf folk haven't ravaged it yet. They sure drink a lot of coffee and seem to be a breed onto themselves. Didn't hear a single mention of the Tiger's apology yesterday, though.

BEEF O'CHARLIE

We went to the Beef O'Brady's last night after we checked in. Many of them have NTN, but, unfortunately, not this one. They did, however, have $1 bottles of Nattie Light (Busch Natural Light) and Miller High Life Light so that made up for it. A buck is a GOOD price these days.

Then had a drink and ordered a signature offering at O'Charlie's. That would be the Southwest potato twists where they took two potatoes, curly cut them, fried them and put all sorts of good tasting stuff on them. I highly recommend them.
