Re: The Great Train Expo
I'll bet the $3 admission difference can be linked to the higher cost for the convention center vs the municipal auditorium. Or I could be wrong that it's actually just a money sucking capitalistic ploy to take as many pesos out of our pockets as possible. In our family if the wife goes to a train show the husband goes to a shopping mall.

Being from Nashville originally, I can tell ya that you hit the nail on the head. Municipal (aka the dim dome) has been around since at least the early 70's. It was paid for a loooooooooong time ago, and now only has to charge enough to keep hte lights on and do preventative maintenance. The convention center on the other hand.... well, let's just say it is a tad more expensive. |

i went to the show myself, 10 - 12 noon. got out before the game people jambed everything up then went shopping with the wife - which i don't mind. there was a HO and N scale layout to look at. neither of which was detailed enough to merrit any pics. mostly covered plywood and miles of track. maybe next time they will be more complete. there were plenty of vendors, and some of them got my money. there was, tho, plenty of space for more stuff. i had 2 funfilled hours, so i got my $7.00 werth |
