DSC02373, a photo by bucklesw1 on Flickr. Buckles, Took some shots a couple of years back while visiting some friends in Branson, MO .The poor mans Las Vegas. This is the front of the bulding that houses the Titanic exhibit there. Quite sharp. While in Las Vegas, quite a while back, I Spent $60 for two tickets to go thru the Titanic exhibit housed at the Rio Casino. At the end of about 45 min of walking thru it equipped with head phones, you walked into a room cold as hell with a wall of ice twenty feet tall and then are instructed to put your hand on the wall of ice. Then you are informed that the salt water that the souls lost their lives in was colder than the ice wall due to the fact salt water freezes at a lower temperature. This was every bit as good as closing a show with the Zachini's canon. You are then led into the Titanic gift shop. A good week passed before it hit me that I had spent closed to an hour looking at some old plates,old shoes and boots and some large cunks of rusty iron for $60 and enjoyed it. (Staging at its best ) And the real estate doesn't get any better for a garbage joint. JC Hall
