Sorry, but it's a POP MACHINE!

I saw the new banner ad at the top of the pages so I clicked on it.  The page is grossly long with tons of images and text (I got lost after bit).  What I am getting is that Antiquities Vending Co. has a soda machine museum (and party rental)?  Is it a real museum, or are they calling their on-line pics a museum?  If it is for real, anyone know what the hours are and how much it costs?  If you click on the movie it will take a long time to download.  It took almost 10 minutes and I'm using cable TV.  It was worth it though, there are a lot of machines in there!

Brent,

I have been to Alan's Soda Machine Museum and I have to say, it's quite an extensive collection. If my memory serves me, the cool thing about the machines is that all are in original condition.

Additionally, there is a banquet hall that they rent out for special occassions.

You can do a virtual tour through it on the banner..... go to the site
then there a place near the top to direct you.
and the banquet hall both very cool...
I just emailed them about the black & white photos they use in the halll would love to have a set....
Also the Club Cola would make a cool shirt......

I think it might be Charlotte. I know it was  on my list to do when I was at MB last year but was just that bit too far for the kids.

There is a regional airport in Hickory which is very close to Granite Falls.  Granite Falls is also probably nearly equidistant from the Charlotte Airport and the Greensboro airport.  You are probably talking about a 45 - 50 minute drive from Charlotte to Hickory if you were to fly into Charlotte.
