AKA Rugsucker on here. Today, on my way back from South Carolina, I decided to pay Jimmy a visit at The Vac Shop in Elizabethton, TN. I gave him rather short notice and he was extremely gracious! He introduced me to absolutely the best BBQ I have EVER eaten! A little place called Ridgewood BBQ...We actually got lucky, no waiting which from what Jimmy told me is quite rare for this place....After eating there, I can certainly see why!
After lunch, I went back to the shop and was treated to a vacuum collectors' paradise! Let me tell you, if you're traveling within 200 miles of Elizabethton, you owe it to yourself to go check this place out! I stood there and drooled the entire time I was looking around! He has just about everything you could imagine, from modern day vacuums to antique Electrolux model 12's and everything in between!! My only regret is that I was on a tight time schedule today and only was able to scratch the surface.....with that said, I WILL be returning soon with a LOT more time to dig! Elizabethton is a lovely town and you couldn't ask for a nicer more gracious host than Jimmy! Thank you for the hospitality, introducing me to awesome bbq, and letting me in your shop! I'm sorry I had to cut and run so quickly but I'll definitely be back! Thanks again Jimmy!! |
