Staying at the nearby Fred Thomas Resort, 4 fellas from outside the area needed a cool local place to watch the Lions slap around the Packers. This place did not disappoint.
In the first quarter, Goff threw a questionable pass that ended up in the hands of Green Bay's Ford. Rough start, but Detroit's tenacious defense shut the Pack down.
From there, the Lions landed a number of blows, beginning with an Amon-Ra St. Brown touchdown. Did you see that Lambeau Leap. The fans were unimpressed. And another 2 by David Montgomery (I think from Montgomery Gentry fame). That took us to the halftime report where Richard Sherman broke down the Packers' follies with clairvoyant-like insight. Then he sent it back to the human smokeshow, host Charissa Thompson.
3rd quarter, Green Bay fought back with gradeschoolesque might, scoring a touchdown and tacking on a 2-point conversion. That brought the score to 27-11. Detroit on top. Could the Packers do it?

Would definitely return. Migh...

I’m 28 my wife is 29 we have tattoos and rarely even get carded at all. She asks for our ID’s, looks at them for a second, then says “I won’t serve you.” We asked why and she said “your Ohio ID’s look weird” funny to hear since we have Utah ID’s (we live there now but are visiting family here) so she clearly didn’t even really look at them.. I offered to show her my credit card my insurance cards etc so she could see the names matched and she said “I have the right to refuse service to anybody I want” whether she was just rude or there was more to it I don’t know but I’ve never experienced anything like...
Read moreStopped in twice to revisit past family memories. Talked to a few of the "residents" and had a wonderful time. Second time was for a brew and a burger. By far the best burger we've had in a long time. Talked to owner for a bit, chatted about great memories and the history of the place. Great place to park an RV, or rent a cabin. And did I mention the best burgers in the...
