Cameron's Restaurant & Inn

1000 Bottles of Beer On the Wall (make that cans) How does a collection begin? Especially one that grows to contain over 2,000. Cameron Palmer moved to Cincinatti at the age of 10 and his first new friends were “into beer cans”. Drinking the contents was out of the question, they merely stalked for empties.The friends dropped their interest, but Cameron pursued the quest. His parents traveled as did many of their friends all with one request: bring back beer cans. Within six months the collection had two about 200, enough to form a pyramid on his bedroom wall. Years passed and the serious collector was into  doubles to allow for trading. The parent’s gained new respect for the pursuit after perusing the beer can collector’s bible. Those old empty cans apparently had some stated value after all, besides bringing a smile to their son’s face.With marriage came the collection to the first newlyweds apartment. The bride stood firm against lining the living room wall with beer cans. Cameron bargained, pleading for at least two bedroom walls. The family backed the bride and the cans got boxed, but never forgotten. Even in exile the collection grew. As seen in the movie Birdemic.
