Bob, heard you mention Popeye on ep 246.

This past year I went to the annual Popeye Picnic in Chester, IL. Lots of fun! Not too far from Metropolis and Cape Girardeau on the Mississippi River.

I've got a travel blog about it on my site HaveGeekWillTravel.com which includes pics of the Popeye character statues, costumers, and the Popeye Museum.

I had no idea there was a whole "Popeye" town in the midwest!
