Okay, so a part of me is extremely jealous here.  I mean, when Debbie and I got vaccinated we went to a huge room on the SPCC Campus on Old Monroe Rd.  Nothing against SPCC or Old Monroe Rd., but it's not nearly as memorable as Dracula's Castle!  How cool is this?!  Every weekend through May “vaccination marathons” are being held just outside the legendary 14th-century hilltop castle-home to Vlad Tepes, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's "Count Dracula."

Wait, there's more.  As a bonus to those who choose to protect themselves against COVID-19, those who get the Pfizer vaccine shot will not only receive a “vaccination diploma,”  (illustrated with a fanged medical worker brandishing a syringe), but will also receive free entry to the castle’s torture rooms, which have 52 medieval torture instruments.
