I'm local and my mom is one of the YoYo Ladies. Ask anything you want, but most everyone has given some really good suggestions. There is a mall near the Hancocks with a big Gander Mountain store if your hubby likes outdoorsy things, the casino over in Metropolis if not.The murals on the floodwall are interesting and there are some cool shops downdown that aren't quilty...lots of antique stores, Kirchoff's Bakery (YUMM!!) There's an artist colony area that might be interesting in Lowertown too. Those of you who haven't any reservations yet, might try the KY Dam Marina...they have houseboats for rent that are wonderful...fully stocked with everything you need but clothes and food.
