Please add me.

Well, Howell Michigan is known for fishing lures made by The Millsite Tackle Company, supposed to be highly collectible.

Howell melons, sweeter than Honeydew melons. Since the 1950's Howell has had a MelonFest, this year nope due to Covid.

Railroad buffs, we had "railroad wars" between the Ann Arbor Railroad and the Pere Marquette Railroad in the late 1800's, one crew would lay their track, the other would tear up their work. Finally settled, the railroads met at a crossing named AnnPere, just outside of town.

Annie Oakley once demonstrated her shooting ability here also.

Never been to Korea but many other countries. Lived in Jamaica 4years, Australia 14years.

In South Texas, access to hundreds of miles of beaches.

Sounds like a great Karma. Please consider me.

Living in SW Virginia in the “Moonshine Capital” of the US I can attest to the smoothness of a good home brew..or so I’ve read!

Don't include me as I go to Korea occasionally. And have access to korean markets here. Unless you include Pace 6+ in the karma .

Just wanted to say interesting theme and karma.

When I was stationed at Camp Casey, we'd go to the ville in TDC and there was this really sweet ajumma that would sell the most delicious coleslaw dogs with some kimchi if you wanted, across the street from the VIP bar.

Send me one of those if you ever go there, I'd like to try one sober for the first time!

And a large order of yakimandu.

What an interesting karma!

Do NOT enter me as I've been to Korea several times and in fact will be there twice in October.

I live in the DFW area, but I'll tell a Korea-related story. On a layover about 5 years ago in Portland I make my way to the parking lot near Voodoo Donuts that has all the food trucks. I'm looking for lunch and there is a Korean-taco fusion truck. Bulgogi tacos? Sign me up. So I go to the window and order two tacos. The girl taking my order asks if I want spicy or mild kimchi. I say "spicy" and the cook/owner behind her immediately comes to the window and says "But sir, you are WHITE!"

I'm in for your Karma. This sounds awesome!
I've lived in the Nashville//Middle TN area my entire life (except for last three years of college at the loveliest village on the Plains, Auburn, AL-- War Eagle!!).

I'm sure you didn't know know that Nashville, TN is also called Music City!! It's considered the home of Country Music, and it's the home for the Grand Ole Opry! (OK, maybe you do know).
Oddly enough, my dad was also born in Nashville in 1935, and he attended the Opry one time when he was a teenager. I'm now 59+, and I've never been to the Opry (most locals don't go).
And, I really don't like Country Music, even though our retail business is about three blocks from Music Row, and, over the years we've had many Country Music stars as repeat customers (we're a religious gift store & Church Supply business in midtown).

Several years ago I was in a restaurant here, and they do, they always think foreigners don't know spicy food.

So I order some spicy bbq pigs feet and she asks me the standard question with the standard skepticism. Usually when I answer in Korean, that even though I am a foreigner I love spicy food, they ease up and just go with it lol. This time she had something to prove.

It was the hottest food i've ever tasted outside of Thailand.

I bet I went through 6 bottles of Cass trying to finish that one plate. I imagine she was in the back just laughing her ass off. On the whole I don't find Koeran food spicy but that night she was hell bent on proving me wrong.

Nice and interesting karma.
I'm Cajun and many of us populate southern Louisiana.
We have a complete culture of our own in the U.S. that includes it's own unique language/dialect,food,cooking, music, tradition and folklore.
Cooking contains a melange of styles such as French, African, Spanish, native american and those of other immigrants to the area.
Thanks for the chance.

I’ve got a few days off to put some of this together so...

One last bump before I go to bed this morning.

When i wake up this evening I’ll pick a winner and contact them via email.

I like Korean food. Not many restaurants around here.

Were I live, was founded by Elijah Craig, and Alexis de Tocqueville stayed in what use to be a hotel three doors up the street from me when he was writing Democracy in America.

The Ohio River had frozen, and he disembarked the river boat, stayed in the hotel and walked to Louisville a 9+ hour 30 mile walk.

In 1890's there was 3800 residents. Now, 390. In the early 1900's most of the town buried down. It started in the empty Warehouse down on the river.


ARman

Do not add me to the karma list.
Just wanted to join the conversation a little. This may be one of the most unique karma shares I have ever seen. I was actually a member of SigForum for many years as WildWeasel but have been away for a good while. When I went to reconnect as WildWeasel the login would not work so I started over with the name my grandson bestowed upon me.

I made six extended trips to Seoul and various other parts of the peninsula several years back while attached to Special Operations Command Korea (SOCKOR). I was a Navy guy with a Navy detachment in the Army world. Traveled the excruciating long flights from Atlanta to Incheon Airport each time, almost always nonstop. I remember the big base at Yongsan that headquartered the U.S Eighth Army before they moved to Humphreys. I spent a lot of time there and the small base across the street where SOCKOR was based.
Even though I stayed at a hotel in Seoul, I did my laundry at the Dragon Hill Lodge.

When I went for the exercises I played my part on the main base facilities at Yongsan. For the Army personnel who came in on orders for the exercise the base set up a tent city, just like being in the field. When the Navy arranges lodging for a member “tent” is not an option because the Navy doesn’t know what a “tent” is! So I was instructed to secure lodging and that became the Millennium Hilton Hotel. A couple of times I worked with an Army Major that had started his career as enlisted Navy. It drove him nuts that I was staying in the Hilton while he stayed in the tent city. Which means it had to be brought up several times over the course of weeks.

I miss the shopping in Insadong, the night life right outside of Yongsan, Namsan Mountain, The Korean War Museum, etc. I really enjoyed the food and kept bringing GO-CHU-JANG hot/sweet sauce back with me until I found a place I could buy it here in the southeast.

I don’t want to hijack the thread, I could talk about Korea for hours. The one thing I never did purchase for myself was a hand made set of swords from the owner of the Knife Gallery in Insadong. You could send me that! The story of that man and how he creates the swords by hand just as they were done thousands of years ago is an amazing and interesting story. Good luck everyone.

I also live in the Houston area. Our Metro area is nearly the same size as Connecticut, so there's that...



Thanks for the unique karma!

Bump for the winner

Thanks very much, and I am very excited about this unusual karma.

I can't wait to try some Korean goodies.

Thanks again.

Lucky!! Nice win! Curious what will be sent.

It would be nice if you get some KFC - Korean Fried Chicken from Suwon. The restaurants there only have two choices - 1/2 chicken or full chicken. Amazingly good eats. And a beer to wash it down.

I wonder if you'll get some choco-pie (based on something that used to be very popular here when I was young but now I can't even remember what they were called; haven't seen one stateside in decades).

OttoSig's karma box of Korean goodies arrived, and it looks great. I didn't fully unpack it here at work, but here is a look:



Yes, those are soft smoked squid, and they look awesome.

This is an unusual karma and look forward to sampling these treats.

Thanks very much.
