Long Weekend on the Road-- Part 4

April 17th, after leaving the Curve Inn, a member of the Route 66 Association of Illinois' Hall of Fame, I drove back to the Travelodge which has its own bar called the South Side Pub. It's great to be able to have a few cocktails and walk back to the room. I'd only had two beers at the Curve Inn, but it is only about a half mile away.

This place is never crowded the times I've been there. Three other older gents were telling jokes and I had a nice talk with a truck driver who drives to New York City twice a week and this is a twice-a-week stop for him. He especially likes the pool during the summer where you can find him most nights.

Two other gentlemen were there for one of their daughter's wedding. The jokes were funny, but unfortunately, I've never been one to remember most jokes I hear. Another couple came in and played pool.

The bartender put on some really eclectic songs on the Jule box, including the great "Bop" by Dan Seals, who, unfortunately died within the last few weeks.

Domestic bottles are $2.25.
