No McDonalds but you can get a burger at Pasta
Plus, the Harbor Shack or the at the bar at the
Rock Hall Yacht Club. No Starbucks but I
understand the coffee is pretty good at Java
Rock. I haven't seen the magazine yet but I did
fact check the article for Rik before it went to
press. It's a great little room with some
wonderful music coming up. (Disclaimer: I do the
publicity and marketing for the Mainstay
including the content on the website: http://www.mainstayrockhall.org/)
I don't know how big the Rock Hall Expo really
is. We were out of town last year for the first
one and we'll be out of town this year as well.
