Good deal. It looks like a nice place, from what I've seen. In addition to the Cracker Barrel, there's a Ryan's just down the street (separated from Cracker Barrel by a Mariott).

Hunter

is there a truck stop nearby ?

20 miles south, Fanklin KY Exit 2... 31 miles north, Exit 53, Horse Cave KY

How close is this to the venue?

The Capitol Arts theater is located in downtown Bowling Green, and there really aren't any hotels near there.

Thanks Hunter. 5 miles is great.

The Harley dealership is also located close to the La Quinta. ;-)

While I'm at it, Bowling Green is also home to the Corvette Museum and Lost River Cave. We're also just about 20 miles south of Mammoth Cave, for those of you who have never been there.

Thanks Dori, Mike and Hunter. Between the three of you Bowling Green may want to consider putting you on their Chamber of Commerce!
The Corvette museum is a very nice attraction. The day we met in Bowling I stopped there and so did Webb.

For the motor enthusiasts, here's another one. The Corvette plant offers tours on weekdays:

I don't know if that's part of, or near to, the museum Hunter mentioned.

We are definitely going to make the Corvette Plant and Museum part of our tour. Sure wish I was taking factory delivery option.

The Corvette Museum is just across the road from the Corvette plant.

Bowling Green stole the Corvette from St. Louis...flat out stole it. Waaaaaaaahh!
(sobbing)
A bunch of Chevy employees moved there so they could continue to work on the Vette.

We are trying to land another New hotel, about a year or so old, that is at the Corvette plant/museum exit 28. It is within walking distance of the plant & the museum.

Still negotiating with them. Hope to update soon.
