Interesting to me. My Kettering, Ohio brother-in-law shops there
occasionally (and raves about it). I wonder how long a drive it is from
Kettering to Jungle Jim's. We have driven to Dayton, but now that
Continental has added a direct flight from Houston to Dayton we fly. Sounds
like it's worth the trip to Jungle Jim's.
