2 of 6: Pancake City is in the lower middle of the map, south of the baseball diamond and west of the airport. When you get there --
3 of 6: -- they tell you to try Mabel Rose's. That's in the upper left corner of the map. And when you get there --
4 of 6: -- they send you to the antique store. Good grief! It's at the center of the map, a little yellow-roofed building on the north bank of the river.
