A horse track? a NASCAR track? Yeah, don't know where one would even fit..

although I suppose one doesn't really see the whole island. Makes sense, a drinking and fishing and gambling on horses back in the day. As an aside, the Woodstock Inn had horse betting on one of the screens not sure how that worked though. Yeah, that first time 'course went down the to dock to watch the sunset, small crowd of people, a few jugglers and musicians busking went back years later 3 or 4 cruise ships blocking the view. Get older you start knowing stuff others will never be able to see... PS and who could forget Johnny Rocco in Key Largo ;^) ** Edited by `lag at 1/15/2026, 12:45:37 PM

I think they had/have greyhound racing in West Virginia. I used to love to

Yeah, if you lose you're euthanized which is most of them.

Woodstock Inn is a good dive. Our office was in Waverly until 2016
