The BC Homecoming Question...

Jean has a rather funny blog going [post 109923] which leads to a rather serious discussion. If a BC Homecoming was planned somewhere in the central US - like St. Louis...how many BC folks would attend?

If there is enough interest, I will make additional polls to determine the location which would provide the greatest potential attendance and continue planning from there...

Please VOTE and comment - lets see if we can put something together!
Yes, I would honestly make an effort to attend
I would love to, but, there's no way I would be able to attend


"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - part of Jim Elliot's October 28, 1949 journal entry

    Quoting busykydad:
    hmmm...didn't know that. So, geographically central sites would include Kansas City or Omaha?

    I've always heard St. Louis is the most central location for meetings...I think its central by population not geography. Then again, my memory could be wrong...
Technically, the last update I am aware of, the population center of the U.S. is somewhere in extreme southwest Missouri - the closest sizable airport being NW Arkansas for international transit with Walmart and other key businesses in the Fayetteville area. And we could all visit the Arkansas basketball museum, Blanchard Springs Caverns, with a trip to the Passion Play in Eureka Springs... etc. etc. Otherwise, Kansas City may be the closest BIG city but Memphis is a key airline hub. A Univ. of Memphis basketball game might be interesting, but Graceland and the casinos shouldn't be big draws for most BC folks, including me.

Personally, I'd offer a choice between Reykjavik, Iceland, Mogadishu, Somalia or Fayetteville, Arkansas, just to be fair.

I couldn't agree more with Mmab! Why don't we all try and touch-base the cradle of humankind. Jim, I'm sure a little tan would be welcome lol!

    I've been to Arkansas (Hot Springs, Little Rock, umm think that's it other than driving through or flying over) and can't see how Arkansas could be the center of anything worthwhile...LOL

    Memphis - now there's a possibility...
HA!

    well, I didn't and its my poll! LOL. I knew NOBODY would be able to find me, let alone come. I live 4 miles outside of a "city" with a population of 769 according to the 2000 Census.
I didn't mean your "home", "home". I meant their neck of the woods.

On second thought, Mr. Suzy Homemaker, after how you described how you cooked for your family holiday, your home might be nice after all.

What a cool idea!!!! I'd sure try to make it. My daughter flew home today from a school trip to New York and is raving about it! I'd love to visit you all there.

Or I still think the idea of Africa is great.....

Or if none of that works out - I could arrange something here in London for you!

Yeah, well I've spent more than a few days in Kaintuck and can't see that it's the center of anything save the vortex of a cultural black hole! See you at the SEC tournament. Oops! Oh, nevermind...

For lower costs also, Arkansas is a draw. I have to say, if Fayetteville, KC and St. Louis are out, Raleigh, NC doesn't sound so bad as an option to Memphis.

It's NOT a short hop to Disney.

My brother lived in Cape Coral for 25 years and my In-Law's lived in Bonita Springs and North Fort Myers for longer and it's not that close but I guess if people are driving all the way almost to the end of Florida, they can be near it to stop by on their way in or out, I guess.

The west cost is beautiful water. I personally prefer Captiva to Sanibel Island. But that's just me.
