When I go to Atlanta, I’d swear there is a place on the right driving through Conyers on I-20 that is a heavy machine playground. Not a big place, but looks like fun.

Edit. In my early 20’s, my friend and I drove through a neighborhood under construction late at night after a few beers. We started up a big dozer and drove around having a big time.

Get some of those big-ass dump trucks, some cranes, lots of bulldozers, backhoes, pan scrapers, etc, and charge per hour per machine to let people come in and play with them. It would have involved a lot of up front investment - more than we had - but I still think it would have worked.
