Ok, so it's not REALLY Petticoat Junction, but it was the inspiration for the television show...
"The idea for Petticoat Junction came from within Paul Henning's own family - specifically from the childhood of his wife, as Ruth herself elaborates: "My grandparents, Willis and Martha Burris had this hotel in a little small town in the middle of Missouri. The town (population) was about 3000 - Eldon, Missouri. It didn't look anything like the Shady Rest Hotel, but it was right near the railroad station. " http://petticoat.topcities.com/black_&_white_episodes.htm
It's also apparently the locale of The Harley Race Wrestling Academy.
Who would have thought you could find so many interesting things about a seemingly podunk Midwest town.
I'm also excited to check out this place about 20 minutes away...
