Phone: 256-338-6554- Pittsford/Victor, New York - Mushroom House Way too cool house. I'd say it is much closer to Victor than Pittsford. Park Rd is the first right after Rt 96 exits Rt 490. This house is a must-see. True, a private home, but on a drive with several other homes so you can drive by for a closer look. Found online "Architect James H. Johnson actually patterned the house after a stem of Queen Anne's Lace. This home was built in 1970...The home's contemporary 'pod' design earned it a designation as a Perinton landmark in 1989."

Visible from street. - Victor, New York - Valentown - Old Ghost Attraction Interesting old building; looks like the museum may be operating again -- just not on the day we visited. Sign by road indicates it is a museum and gift shop. Looked in windows -- rooms seem to be as they would have been when built. Sign on front of building gives a history.

Phone: 585-924-4170 - Murdo, South Dakota - Pioneer Auto Show Stopped by with high expectations because I'm a huge fan of old and classic cars. I was sickened by the condition of the collection; the vehicles had been left in open sheds and were rotting on their tires. My wife couldn't stay in the buildings because of the musty, moldy air. Also, the admission was close to $20 for the two of us -- way too much for what was offered. Obviously, the collector didn't know when to stop collecting. It's a sad sight to see all these great old autos moldering away. The General Lee (there on lease) was a nice draw, but not enough to bring me back again. [Ed, 07/05/2009][RA: Note that much of the collection is protected in closed buildings (not climate controlled from what we recall). The rows of cars in the open areas seemed to be sedan junkers more than anything else, but car fans may object to the weather neglect....]Pioneer Auto Show:
