HRC St.Louis

I love St.Louis. While I was a student in Chicago, my first trip from Chicago was St.Louis. It was before HRC was opened. I went there by train, so I arrived at the station near the Union Station mall.



2 years later, I visited St.Louis again for HRC. HRC St.Louis was located inside Union Station Mall where I visited 2 years ago. It was after GO, so fortunately I could buy GO & Calendar pin by myself!! I was so excited when I found many of great pins on the counter. It was one of the best memories from my Hard Rock Life !!

HRC Atlanta

I visited Atlanta twice in 1998. The mood of Atlanta was very different from other US cities. I enjoyed walking around the downtown, and I also went to the famous mountain.


About HRC Atlanta, it was easy to find it, and they had a good flying-V guitar.

Unfortunately, a Huge snow storm of 1998 attached me on the way back to Chicago from Atlanta. It was in Dec 31st of 1998. I remember I had hard time to drive a long way in the snow storm.

HRC Houston

Before going to Houston, I visited Johnson Space Center. I enjoyed their tram tour even though it was so cold outside.

And then I visited HRC Houston(Old location). I bought a city guitar as always, and then went to the mall in downtown. There was big skate rink inside the mall, and the mood was great.

HRC San Antonio

After Dallas, I went to El Paso, and enjoyed sightseeing around there like Ciudad JuarezCiudad Juarez, Whitesands N.P, and Carlsbad N.P.

And then I was in San Antonio after a long drive. Like you could guess, of course!!I was so tired because I drove all the way alone, so I stayed at Motel for a night, and took deep sleep. Next day, I was OK, and did some sightseeing like Alamo.

HRC San Antonio was located in great place along the River Walk, and I liked their city guitar.

HRC Dallas

After having good time at Hot Spring, I arrived to Dallas that was snowing then. Dallas was a big city, and there were some places I could enjoy sightseeing.
One of the best was the 6th Floor where they had many things about JFK.

After that, I visited the place where JFK was killed.

By the way, Hard Rock Cafe Dallas was also good. I think this cafe is one of the most gorgeous HRC in my Hard Rock Life. Great one!

HRC Nashville

After Memphis, I visited Nashville. I was surprised that Hard Rock Cafe was located in such a small city like Nashville. Hard Rock Cafe Nashville had nothing special for my memory, so I got a city guitar, and went to other restaurant to have the famous Pork barbecue.

I visited this cafe in the end of 1998 again on the way back from Atlanta.

HRC Memphis

In Winter of 1998, I decided to make another HRC run from Chicago. 1st destination was Memphis. I arrived there late night(around 2 AM), so I had to wait at Gas stand until the morning, and then I visited to HRC Memphis after I did some sightseeing along the famous bourbon street.


Of course, I had lunch at Elvis restaurant. After that, I went to my main target in Memphis that was Graceland ! There were some places that I could feel Elvis's footmarks. I loved Memphis!

HRC Vancouver

Vancouver was a very nice city with the view of beautiful mountains. I really enjoyed this city even though I was so tired after long drive(Chicago-Las Vegas-San Diego-LA-SFC-Seattle).

At this city, I decided to relax, and enjoyed Sushi at Chinatown, I-max movies, and sightseeing. About HRC, they had a good city guitar. I hardly have meal at HRC, because I prefer local food to HRC's meal !

HRC Tijuana

-1st visit

I made a short trip to Tijuana to see some part of Mexico. Tijuana was very wild city for me who knew only USA & Canada at that time. I didn't know HRC Tijuana existed. At a store, I found a fake HRC T-shirts, and asked the man where this HRC was located, and I met HRC Tijuana. I was very happy that I could find the cafe by accident. Unfortunately, there was only a pin on the counter.

-2nd visit in 2002

In 2002, after traveling HRCs around California, I crossed border again for HRC Tijuana. At this time, I was so happy that I could get many pins like 10th anniversary pin.

HRC Las Vegas

Like HRH Las Vegas, I visited this Cafe twice(1998 & 2002). Las Vegas was one of coolest city, so I can not spend much time only for HRC. Hopefully, I want to stay at HRH Las Vegas someday.
