Thread Name: BS: Delightfully Tacky Places
Subject: RE: BS: Delightfully Tacky Places
There's a town near L.A. called...Solvang It's a replica of a (I believe)Danish villiage and I used to stop there for the best pastries in the state. But really, a replica of a European village? Why?

Then again, there's Colonial Williamsberg which is kind if creepy, if not actually tacky. I mean, some of those people just stay in costume for decades! Kind of like civil war reenactments. I don't get it...but is it tacky?

BTW, the cheese at the Mars Cheese Castle, back in my day (God, I LOVE saying that!) was primarily an outlet for Wisconsin cheeses. Their Jack Cheese (with Jalapenos) was outstanding.

(If I had to vote, Blackpool might well win as the tackiest city I've ever been to. I loved it!)
