Proximity to your church could make it a favorite for them, too... ;) 
Here, there are lots of places people can go...  and a number of the
chains clearly have full parking lots....  (G)
 
 NB>> Some of

We generally finish by something after Noon...  Sermon usually goes to
quarter after or so... generally we don't figure to be anywhere to eat
before one or later...  :)  When we meet friends from a different church
for lunch, we generally aim for 1:15, and sometimes don't quite make it
even then...  ;)   11:00 is pretty standard starting time around here
for most churches, unless they get started even earlier... or have
multiple services, in which case the second/last morning service still
is generally at 11....

 NB>> It's the one I know best, from having driven by it for so long...
 NB>> starting when it was still only Camp Drum...  :)  If you do come up to

 RH> I used to know it as Camp Drum too. Years ago, watching a NY Mets game

 RH> doing his annual reserve duty at "Camp Drunk; I mean Drum". Wonder how
 RH> close to accurate his slip of the tongue was. (G)

Dunno...  May have more to do with the broadcaster's state of mind than
that of the facility...  ;)   I've never known it to have that sort of a
rep in all the time I've been in the vicinity... and even where our
property is isn't that far away, so some scuttle would have probably
reached us at some time or other...  ;)   We're close enough to have
flyovers by the military planes out on maneuvers...  :)

 NB>> another picnic on the Pond, you'll most likely drive right by the
 NB>> Drum...  :)  All the normal routes at least skirt it in some
 NB>> fashion... and as I mentioned, 3A (the thru route for route 3 past
 NB>> Carthage) actually crosses part of it..  :)

 RH> And we can go in to shop at the PX & commissary if we want/need to.

True.  You'd want to do it on your way in, though... although close in
some ways, it's still a good hour and a half drive away from the
destination...  ;)   Or do it on your way out, if for items not for the
picnic...  :)

... You don't get once-in-a-lifetime offers like this every day.
