Duluth, MN – Billy’s
Once upon a time, in rural Duluth, there was the Idle Hour Inn. My family used to hit it up in the winter, with some of my parent’s friends, usually after skiing or hayrides. The building is still there, a gaggle of owners since, in its current incantation, it’s “Billy’s.” I don’t have a clear… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Billy’s

Superior, WI – The Kitchen
Back in the day, some day, I was working on occasion at an oil refinery in Superior, WI. Our work was outdoors, and once and awhile, we’d get rained out. On days requiring “liquid refreshments”, we’d head to a bar called the “Manila”, and thus rain days became known as “the Manila Monsoon.” Other days… Continue reading Superior, WI – The Kitchen
Duluth, MN – Dry Dock Bar and Restaurant
In Duluth, we’d say this place was out in the boonies, back in the day, but it’s not anymore. Overlooking the Grand View Golf Course, on a high hill, sitting at the Dry Dock you can see 50 miles to the South. But why would you want to look at the view, instead of your… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Dry Dock Bar and Restaurant
