Harland Sanders Cafe Corbin Kentucky
I was able to get down to Corbin recently, and stopped by the historic Sanders Cafe.
It wasn't overwhelming, but it was nice. There are some cases and other displays relating to Harlan. I had never seen the mask! I enjoyed checking out a signed pay check from Mr. Sanders.
This is a nice stop, especially since this is where Colonel Sanders started it all.
He started with a gas station, serving chicken in the back. Then he moved to a hotel/restaurant model.

I also stopped by Flea Land in London. This is a big flea market that is open every Saturday and Sunday. It has a lot to offer. There are many isles and there are hundreds of vendors.
Also, there was a garage down the road from the Sander's Cafe with the great tow truck made up to look like Mater from the film, "Cars"! Man, they did a great job!
