Embassy Suites by Hilton Gatlinburg Resort March 2024

I wanted to bring up our great stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Gatlinburg Resort recently!  This place just opened!

There are a lot of nice places to stay in Gatlinburg...  I have mentioned several here, and I am sure I'll bring more up in the future....  but this place is great.

They have a very cozy coffee shop, nice new rooms, a room that does tours and offers advice on things to do in the park, etc.  AND, they have about the best breakfast offered at a hotel ever.  Seriously, they made omelets right there, and the omelets alone are worth a visit to the resort.

Concert Memories: Foreigner- Owensboro, KY 07/23/1993

 Foreigner in Owensboro....  This was one of the earlier concerts I remember going to at the Big E.

I think I went to almost all of the shows that I went to there with my pal Vernon.  The shows were kind of general admission, and my friend Vernon had a pal that worked at the Executive Inn.  He would always say hi to the guy, and we were almost always set close to the front.  We were set at a front table for this show, but Lou Gramm got mad at the security telling people to set down (and not dance around or stand), so he told the audience to feel free to get up, stand, move around...  and the fans sure did.

I remember Foreigner sounding great and the audio being perfect.  I was surprised at how small of a guy Lou Gramm was.

My Grandma lived walking distance from the legendary hotel that sadly no longer exists...  and it was nice parking at her place and walking to see a show.

Was anyone else at this show?  I wasn't taking pictures back in the 90s the way I do now, so I don't have any pictures, but I still have the ticket, and the memories!
