Posts: 7315 July 4, 2012 1:52 PM The Bishop of Bonduel	Remove this ad I'm back here in Bonduel, just finished cutting my parents' lawn with a lawn mower built in Brillion. I'm wearing a Benton Zephyrs t-shirt, drinking a Potosi beer and eating sausage made in Cuba City.

Posts: 647 July 5, 2012 12:54 AM Thank you for being a friend	I like all of those things. Except Cuba City. Ripping the gophers is like popping bubble wrap. It's being suspended in a boundless state of otherworldly, unchallenged superiority. It's like picking up a magic golf club that makes you stripe every ball 325 yards perfectly down the middle. The domination is so effortless, so intoxicating that you never come to the point that makes you say "OK, that one sucked, I've had enough." - ryebadger, 11/18/10

Posts: 9494 July 5, 2012 3:25 PM Mayor of Poundtown	I'll put in a nod for Cumberland. Really nice shopping district downtown, Louie's Meats is fantastic, several lakes and a few golf courses in the surrounding area, and some pretty good dining options too.

I have a quibble regarding the good looking women part. When were you in those towns? Rib Lake, Three Lakes, and even Tomahawk and Peshtigo could've had the good looking women numbers skewed by out of towners. Head up to a place like Eagle River during the tourist season and then head up there in let's say October. You'll notice a big difference.

Rib Lake had two really decent looking women that were locals while I there. Perhaps I (we) was just lucky. I would also like to note that my standards for "good looking women" go down proportionately as I drive north. But they were "hit-able" in any location.

Pepin - love the Harbor View Cafe along Lake Pepin on the Mississippi Summerset - Apple River = best tubing in Wisconsin Fish Creek - Wisconsin nosh doesn't get any better than the Whistling Swan. Shell Lake - great lake for fishing and swimming. Love the lakeside camp ground. Spring Green - APT and so much more Kohler - best golf in the state (including Whistling Straights in Haven, WI) And I love the drive from La Crosse to Madison on HWY 14, the Sunday after Thanksgiving. don't jab, poke, pierce, stab, or joust with your sausage. you'll lose juice, and ultimately flavor. scoobs - 11/11/02

Would they be considered locals?

Minocqua is nice and all, but I've had a few run-ins there with locals while I was at one of the bars. They didn't take too kindly to out-of-towners. I think that New Glarus is a pretty nice smaller town. Viroqua would be a better place to hang out if there were bars in the downtown district other than the bar at the Viking, but that's a supper club.

I hunt between Nelson And Pepin, good call on the cheese curds although I think the place in Elsworth may have them beat. I also get a chuckle out of the liquor stores in Nelson...they don't advertise the cost of beer per case, they advertise the cost per three cases.

Posts: 1617 July 5, 2012 8:01 PM "OWLS ARE ASSHOLES!"	Hey Bud, My sister just got a teaching gig at Cuba City, while her boyfriend got the same position in Benton. Haven't been to the Boscobel show in many years, but they always had a fairly good one.

Would they be considered locals? I am going to go with No they are not considered locals anymore. Even though you could make a decent case on either side. The reason is because you can't go back to that small town and expect to run into them again. You likely would have a better chance in Madison or Milwaukee for those two chicks. Just my two cents though.

As I've been driving around the past couple days it's been obvious that the tourists/ summer residents are here. First of all, they're actually out exercising, and second, many are quite easy on the eyes.

It was fantastic. I got a huge rack of ribs and kraut with sides of broccoli salad and cheesey hashbrowns for under $8. Minocqua Spring Green pretty much all of northern Door County ...
