For some travelers, it may be worth noting that although there is a "best place" (meaning longest eclipse duration), the actual duration isn't much different in other locations. For example, the greatest duration appears to be 2:40 just south of St. Louis, Mo. But the duration is 2:34 as the eclipse passes over the Atlantic coastline near Charleston, SC, and about the same in central Nebraska. While I hope to see the eclipse, I'm not willing to drive 800 miles for an extra 6 seconds. As Mr Funnypuns notes, last-minute mobility will be a lot more important, I think.
