Road Trip recommendations?

[JTLarsen]

I'm driving from New York to St. Petersburg and then from St. Pete to LA.

 

Any great, must-not-miss stores along the way? I'm generally looking for silver and up, with an emphasis on good deals on tougher-to-find stuff...

 

Any thoughts?

Take the back roads and stop at every garage sale, junk store, Goodwill, and antique shop you run across. Go find something in the wild that will delight you.

...provided you have a couple weeks to spare,

Just so you know, a few years back I took the surface roads from Michigan to Mid Ohio Con. Left on a Friday, noodled my way south all day. Ended up with a bunch of ten cent DC's out of an antique store at $10 each...including an Adventure 247.

 

There's still a lot of stuff out there.

Not comics related - but stop at South of the Border if you're coming down 95. Revel in all of its lameness. Look for 'class of 89' keychains in one of the gift shops.

There was a great little shop in Macon with a spectacular run of SA books, but someone beat you to them.

Hilton Head, South Carolina. Play some golf, hit the ocean at some gorgeous beaches. St. Augustine, Florida. Settlement dating to the 17th century. Comic books? Who knows if and where any may turn up!

 

From St. Pete, you going to LA as in Los Angeles, or Louisiana? Either way, what a great (and long) drive.

If you go near Houston, I hear Bedrock City has a few comics and they sell breath mints too. And if you buy enough, I hear Richard will let you peek at his cool early Action original art.
