Final Day in Branson, Missouri

By
Real Estate Agent with Wayne M Martin

Our last day in Branson, Missouri was a great day starting with an early lunch at Mel's Hard Luck Diner. Must admit the food was not equal to the food at Heroes we had on Monday but all the wait staff were singers. They were all very good and a bonus at this throwback 1950's diner atmosphere. Worth a stop if you are in Branson.

After a filling lunch on to a show at the Kings Theater. We saw a 70's review with a focus on Abba. It was excellent.

Due to some health issues of one of our members, we had to confine ourselves to a limited number of attractions. Once again, faye schubert to the rescue with her knowledge of the attractions most likely to be the best choices. Some of you know I use baseball batting averages all the time and body bats a thousand.

Well if a trip to Branson is on your list, the tour adviser extraordinaire, faye schubert bats a thousand in my book. We will likely go back and ask for Faye's assistance once again.

 Wayne, We too enjoy the nostalgic ambiance of a 1950's-style diner that you visited at Branson. Also, we just recently attended a tribute performance dedicated to ABBA, and it was absolutely amazing!

Michael Jacobs - Thanks to Faye's suggestions, and subject to the limitations of my ill sister-on-law, I would say it was a grand slam!

Endre Barath, Jr. - we arrived home safely in good time. It is about an eight and a half hour trip door to door.

Ed (Edward) Silva, 203-206-0754 - all four of us concluded that the reason for the great time we had was the advice of Faye Schubert. Her assessment of our situation and her suggestions as a result were spot on.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 - Can't say I was an ABBA fan in the day, but their music grows on you and you just become a fan. The performers were tremendous. We had front row seats which was a surprise. The atmosphere of the diner, plus the singing wait staff, was worth the price of admission. They even had an old fashion soda fountain that caused me to order a strawberry malt!

I am sorry to hear about the health issues of one of your members, I hope that they will be ok.  It is such a bummer to not feel well during a vacation.

Hi Wayne... I love 50's themed diners... brings me back to my childhood. And how envious am I that you saw a show with Abba music... one of my favorite singing groups ever.

Hi Wayne:

Sounds like a great trip, thanks to Faye. The diner sounds like a good experience overall. Bet the ABBA review was lots of fun...that goes back a few years!

Brian England - Sister-in-law battling cancer and she is a real trooper. Always seems like one step forward and two steps back. We had a great time and she tired quickly so we adjusted with time for rest. Faye was a treasure in her suggestions in a town with so much to do.

Nina Hollander, Broker - Mel's did not have the greatest food but the wait staff singing and the atmosphere synched the deal.  All sang different songs from gospel to rock-n-roll. One of the waiters was an Elvis impersonator. And the show was outstanding. I bought the tickets online and thought I had nabbed some great aisle three seats. Turns out they were from row center!

Jeff Dowler, CRS - After our experience in Branson, we are so appreciative for the assistance of Faye. She has a sixth sense of what to recommend. Yes, the diner is a must if you are a 50's diner fan. And the entertainment is outstanding. As for ABBA, more of a fan now after the show.

I hope everyone is feeling better now.  I remember a trip to Staunton VA and we visited woodrow Wilson's birth place - my sister in law suddenly got sick and she laid down on the floor and put her face on the cool tile and laid there - quite a shock to the tour guide - we now call it doing a woodrow wilson -

There are many benefits of being active in the Rain. Some member somewhere is there to provide suggestions or advice, Roy Kelley, yourself included.

Lise Howe - my sister-in-law is dealing with a variety of issues but the worst is the spread of cancer. Must say she is a trooper and her scooter provides extra staying power. Must have been quite the sight to see the first Woodrow Wilson!
