Apparently in a place where there are no hotels and no restaurants................I wonder what all the other specialty clubs that hold Nationals there do for their banquets and host hotels? Personally, I think we ought to go back to East St. Louis and do it permanently. It was a great site...there were plenty of hotels, it's centrally located...........etc. etc. One of the reasons everyone seems to love the Canadian National is that they always know where they're going, where they're staying, and so on...maybe the PC ought to think about that. Yes, making the middle of the country a permanent site gives those folks an advantage...but it sure is better than going from one end to the other and thereby eliminating a lot of dogs AND a lot of people.
