O/T-- What's your favorite thing in "The Hall"?

[sdkammeyer]

I'm glad this thread has struck a chord with many of you. So nice to converse with like-minded people.

Are there places in the Hall that do not allow cameras?

I just started planning my trip and I am looking at a drive of:
Distance: 579.55 miles — Time: 9:22 h

I would just fly but then I gotta go through the hassles of the rental car and all that ..... plus the drive is right along Lake Erie so I don't think it will be too boring.

I'm going during the summer, and leaving on a Thursday morning, and I will start my journey home on Monday. So I should have 3 FULL days there. Hopefully that will be enough time.

I don't think I want to go on induction weekend. I know it would be the visit of a lifetime, but I would rather not mess with anymore of a crowd than necessary.

No clue who will be going with me .... as of now I will be going alone (which is just fine with me) but as the time nears I am sure I can wrangle one of you who live closer to Cooperstown than me to meet up and enjoy a day reliving history.

Yup, I'm getting all geeked about it now!! THANKS!!

Maybe I just gotta word it differently.

Is camera use permitted throughout the entire facility?

Cooperstown is a great place to visit. My two favorite restaurants in the village are Nicolettas (very good Italian) and Alex and Ika, both on Main Street. Another nice place to eat is the Blue Mingo Grill at Sam Smith's Boatyard. Its about 4 miles up on the west side of the lake. You can sit within a few feet of the water. Great view. You can also rent a boat there and cruise on the lake. Fishing on Otsego Lake is very good, although better in the spring and fall than in the heat of the summer.

Camera question: yes cameras are allowed at all displays in the Hall and museum, with the exception I think of the theatre.

How did you not get the memo to "group ignore" his camera question no matter how many times he asked?

I was starting to wonder too. I mean I know I'm still new around here and all but geez.

I thought maybe you all were playing that "silent treatment" game they play in the dugout after a rookie hits his first major league homer
