My favorite parts were the interesting historical, geographical, and miscellaneous tidbits about the small towns. I've always wondered what happened to that Inn at the intersection on the way into Yeehaw Junction (not to mention how the town got its name), and now I know. I was surprised to see so much focus on a single restaurant in each small town, which for all I know won't be there if I ever get to go. There are a lot of cool little places in the Keys, too, which didn't make the cut. Oh well. More motivation to get out there and discover things on my own :)
