Do you have a link for the page where you found this?

Up came a link to Wash Post(?) I think. It has a new article with the pic. I'd get it for you but it's a hassle on my mobile.

to see if there is an agenda, or just plain errors and such.

Much like English Pubs, they function as social centers.

In such places the local "grocery" is often the gas station, which is very likely also a good place to look for bait and ammo and school supplies.

How many churches to how many bars?

and nobody seems to care...

And yeah, usually there are about as many churches as there are bars.

by a few big box stores like WalMart, Target, Cub, etc. -- it's hardly surprising.

The average tavern is a fraction of the size of those warehouse stores.

That said, there are more bars & taverns in Wisconsin than anywhere else I've seen!

and you often have fish boils...I'm not crazy about them myself because I think boiled fish is too bland...besides, I can get sea food here in New England, which I generally prefer over lake fish...

I'll never need to do that again!

our house is in Egg Harbor, which is pretty. I like it...it is scenic...fish frys on Friday will be great for me...I justhope my husband doesn't yearn for a fish boil...there are terrific concerts at the Peninsula Music Festival...great classical music. I have been transported by some of those concerts...they are always a special experience...

The only exception is the Ave Bar on East Washington in Madison.

the fish is very fresh...but you have to go super early on Friday nights...

Another oddity I found, going to this part of WI, if you wait in the bar for a table, I've seen folks put their baby (in a carrier of course) right on top of the bar...it would be considered borderline child abuse if you did that in CT. But nobody there batted an eye...

... wisdom here is that the bar is better than leaving the child in the car.

it just looked odd to me. And I don't think WI parents are guilty of child abuse. Maybe it has to do with how bars are structured. We go to a bar/restaurant here for Sunday brunch and there are tables and booths where you can bring baby and have a drink before brunch. Maybe that's the difference...Mr. G's and other places like it have more of a clear delineation of bar and restaurant...

but I dunno...I'm not real fond of bars so I have limited information...

... as bars are often the focus of social interaction here. Kids in bars has been the norm as long as I can recall.

I seldom go to bars anymore unless it's for music or food, but when I was a little kid I spent countless hours in bars, playing the shuffleboard machine and drinking Shirley Temples.

county roads in the midst of farmland. It just sits there like a little house and you sit at the bar and there are several game machines going and what appears to be farmers sitting quietly and alone with their drink at the bar. Usually the TV is on. There is a real sense of isolation in the center of the Door Peninsula. Bars are livelier in the towns. But again, towns like Jacksonport on one side of the peninsula are different from the other, bay side, such as Egg Harbor or Fish Creek. My very favorite town is Ephraim, which has a lovely old time feel to it



The locals seem to like the lake side and the visitors like the bay side...

... Peninsula State Park and their very nice, very inexpensive golf course.

We'll only get to a couple of concerts this year, but in the past we went to them all...first rate symphony orchestra with lots of musicians from the Chicago Symphony (one of the best in the country). Really a world class operation...try to get to one if you can...
