What the Beck???

Hodgenville, KY continued

I ended the last entry at Lincoln’s Museum, and I still haven’t eaten breakfast or lunch.

       When I researched the town, I saw an interesting restaurant named Paula’s Hot Biscuit.  I love biscuits and gravy, and hoped she served them for lunch.  When I arrived, people were leaving the building, and I knew it wasn’t 2:00, which is when it would close. I asked a lady if she had eaten there, and she said it was closed that day because Paula served the town council on one Thursday a month.  Once again hungry, dejected, and anxious, I drove on to Ray’s Hodgenville Grill.

 Lunch was not quite what I was looking for that day.  

     I ordered what appeared to be roast beef on a bun with cheese atop.  What I got was an open face beef sandwich which was doused, no smothered in some melted Velveeta-like cheese.  I ate every bite because I was famished, but they definitely need a new restaurant in Hodgenville.

I had a full belly at least, so it was time to check out the properties.

Beautiful Cape Cod home sitting on a 3 Acre lot just minutes from town. The home features 4 BR, 2.5 BA, 2,682 sq. ft., a Large open Kitchen and Living Room with a wood burning Fireplace, Master Suite, Large Bonus room / 4th bedroom over Garage, Partially Finished Basement, 2 car garage, above ground pool with deck and much more. The home also features a full Service Hair Salon. This home is a MUST SEE.

This was a great property, but it is right on the highway.  It is now a two-lane highway, but if and when it goes to four-lane road it wouldn’t be a great property anymore.

Property #2:  4564 Shepherdsville Rd.

$278,000

THE HOUSE IS VERY WELL BUILT BUT IS IN NEED OF SOME UPDATING. 13.1 ACRES,

I think this home had a lot of potential.  It was hard to see the shape of the land from my viewpoint, but Zillo’s description helped.

A Funny Sight

       On my way back to town, I spied “a hairy silo.”

I kept wondering what was climbing up the outside.  Sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me.

 It didn't look like much from the distance

 Close up it really looks funny!

I love love love this town!!!!

The End of my trips for some time.
