Today’s theme focused on the pleasures of youth, and not to be out done by fire trucks and trains, Beet’s next location stayed in theme. Although the Metropolis of the comics looked more like Brooklyn, this small town on the southern tip of Illinois did Superman the right way.
Billed as the “Home of Superman” this small town has fully embraced all things super. Heading into town we passed the super museum, the super gas station and the super grocery store, until right in the middle of the town square a 25 foot statue of Superman appeared.
As the three road trippers soaked it all in, a 25ft statue of Superman took command of his stage. After doing our best Superman impressions we headed over the gift store/ museum. Although the museum would have cost us a few more singles, we knew the real action was taking in the collectibles for sale. If you ever wanted to experience the Comic Book Man’s shop in real life, this is the place to go.
After doing some shopping and getting some “super” gifts for both Yesh and Adam we headed back to the highway, because like the Pony Express we had many more stops to make!
