On day 2, we drove from Murphysboro, Il to Madison WI via US-51, I-74, I-39, and I-90 where I planned a stop in downtown Decatur, IL for lunch. Since we got an early start that morning, it was too early for lunch when we got to Decatur, so we went on up to Bloomington, IL and ate at Cracker Barrel – haven’t eaten at one in several years.
Our next leg took us to Madison WI for a stay at the Holiday Inn Express and supper but after discovering my restaurant of choice was closed, we opted to eat at the Northern Taphouse.
It was a nice looking sports bar where the servers were all wearing NFL team jersey’s – mostly Green Bay Packers - and the TV was tuned to the Packers game.
Both of mine were delicious but neither of us cared for the flavorings on Bev's pizza so it ended up in the trash.
Politics
On this night we stayed in WI and while watching TV, you
can tell it’s a swing state as the presidential campaign adds were relentless and ruthless and
way more than we see in TN since it is a solid red state.

Have a great day
and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

I'd love to try those cheese curds. And I've never eaten at a Cracker Barrel. I think we have exactly one here in Denver and it's way on the north side of town.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and ENJOY 😊
ReplyDeleteFried cheese curds are so addictive! Too bad the pizza wasn't tasty.
ReplyDeleteHi Larry, The political observations were interesting for us too. Some states that we passed through we littered with signs for the Presidential candidates...Pennsylvania and Virginia were the most littered for sure. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
