The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Doing the Trivia Thing

Figuring to get my last days in playing NTN as a Players Plus member before I go to visitor status for awhile.

Unfortunately, Calypso's, across the road from the Driftwood Lodge where we stayed, has dropped NTN Buzztime. I'm not surprised because last year it was never on and the bartenders were highly reluctant to put it on even one of the many TVs in the place.

However, while in the Panama City Beach/Panama City area, we did play at Joe's Corner Pub, B-Dub and Time Out. And, we also visited a local hot spot called Pineapple Willie's which supposedly has it, but again, no one knew about it.


LIVE TRIVIA

But, this is a bit of a wonderment, even though Calypso (the bar area is called Bahama Bob's) dropped NTN, it has a very successful live trivia contest held every Tuesday and a sign outside over the entrance telling about it.

Liz and I played as team, but the two of us couldn't beat the other teams which had six to ten members, several of which who kept suspiciously looking down at something in their hands that their fingers were punching something into. Hmmmnn. Makes you wonder.

They had three rounds and then a round of the winners to determine who would play a team from the local community college on Thursday.

We went to that as well, but just played along. Calypso beat the college.

Looks like a great place, but we really enjoy Donovan's Reef right by the Calypso.

Karaoke Wed-Sat. and $1.25 Nattie Lights.

The Calypsi next door is also a great place to watch a game and have $1.35 pints.
