My time here in Ypsilanti is coming to a close and I'm glad. I came here to visit some people who then changed their minds and didn't want to, so it has been a month of looking for things to do and I have about run out. Only 9 more days and I'll be outta here and don't plan to return anytime soon.
The other day I scooted up to Frankenmuth, a small Bavarian village about 1 1/2 hours north of here to see what it was all about. It's a shopping mecca, full of little stores, restaurants, motels and a huge Christmas store that took the commercialization of that once fine holiday to a whole new level. Lunch at the Bavarian Inn consisted of warm potato salad, a variety of brats and flavored lemonade. All very tasty!
After wandering around the village for a while, I found this tavern called Tiffany's with a somewhat unique trough between the foot rail and the base of the bar where men could relieve themselves without losing their place. Not sure I could've done that, ever!
One of my favorite places in Ypsi has been a pub called the Corner Brewery. They make some fine beers, the most recent being an English ale called Jackhammer with an alcohol content of 9%. Quite a kick! They sell half gallon jugs called "growlers" at a good price, which I will miss when I leave.
The cool shade and quiet campground has been nice. And HOWHEE is clean as a whistle from stem to stern, as is the Burg. With no cable TV or satellite, I've read a lot and played some cards, but I'm ready for TV once again. The fall season is about to begin and I don't want to miss it. Thanks for stopping by.
You have really had time to get acquainted with the area. Looks like you found some friendly places to hang out. Hope it has been cool up there. It has finally cooled off here. It really has been a long hot summer. Expect you will be happy to be back in NC for a while. Hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteI know you'll be glad to get back to North Cackalacky.
