I've had luck there in the past, and I would again this time as I grabbed the pictured Sesame Street clubhouse from 1977 for Archie.
It came with a few figures, but it gives me a project to work on for when he visits.
I found a few programs, most notably a 1971 Ohio State vs Michigan State and an Arkansas vs Navy game from 1982, but the big find was for Archie.
Fred found a silver dollar for his collection, so both of us were pleased leaving Springfield.
We drove to another place in Dayton, Antiques Village, but I didn't make a purchase there.
We grabbed a light lunch at a combined A&W Root Beer/Long John Silvers which was up the street from Antiques Village.
I've always liked LJS, but in recent years, all of the local stores, with one exception (Martinsburg, WV), had been closed, so this was a nice treat.
We then drove to the Cincinnati area for our evening stay at the Fairfield Hampton Inn.
Located next to the former Cincinnati Mills Mall, which was in the midst of demolition during our visit, the Hampton was a little different, as many of the lights weren't functioning!
The front desk person was helpful and gave me some bulbs, but the issue must have been with the lights or wiring, as none of the new bulbs worked either!
I gave Fred the choice of our dinner location and, befitting the name Landucci, Fred chose an Italian chain, "The Old Spaghetti Factory."
It wasn't very good, and the service was slow.
It was actually so bad that Fred gave me a future "Chip" to cash in on a place that Fred might not select, but I'd like to try!
We returned to the hotel to watch the Browns 31-29 loss to the Tennessee Titans from earlier in the day and rested for the third day, which would see one of the favorite items that I've ever found, and it wouldn't even be mine!
