We have been to LeClaire, Iowa, just across the Mississippi River from Moline, Illinois. There are several good places to eat there. And it's also home to Mike Wolfe and Frank of the "American Pickers" television show. Each week's episode finds them exploring a different part of the USA in search of treasures hidden away in barns, or basements or abandoned stores. The people they meet are often worth the episode all by themselves. Mike and Frank bargain with the owners to buy some things that look valuable and old and other things that look like junk. Mike seems fascinated with old clothes. Whoops, I just realized I have a fifty-one year old pair of pants. (see earlier blog post "Trend Setter". Maybe Mike would want to buy them, they are valuable!) Mike and Frank have also opened a store in Nashville at the historic Marathon Motor Works, just south of downtown. It's a must stop for the millions of tourists who come to Nashville yearly (generating $100 million in tax revenues!). And among the items was this oft-mended denim jacket. Seriously. Now who would buy this? And why? I think they'd rather have a pair of 51 year old corduroy pants. I could make them a deal.
