Paul,
Please do come for a visit. Between the few of us, we can show you some
sites. In fact, I live behind Union lines about 100m from a Union "redoubt"
(hey, its a fort to me!).
Penny Lane is owned by an ex Liverpuddlian/Mersysideman who dabbled with
different bands. Decent chap who serves a somewhat Americanized version of
British food. Before someone's knickers get in a twist - he has to make a
living in an area where turnip greens, pinto beans, chittlin's, and other
things pass for food.
The food's decent. The beer consumable and the surroundings, nostalgia.
