There s something wonderful about driving down a two-lane road with the windows open on a warm summer evening. I particularly love the feel of wind against my arm held out the window as I make it swim. Up. Down. Up. Wind on my palm. I m high-fiving Wisconsin s summer nights to the sounds of crickets and frogs.
Driving down winding roads is one of my favorite Wisconsin summer pastimes. When it includes a stop at a supper club, well, it really doesn t get any better.
Stepping inside, it takes a moment for your eyes to adjust from the bright evening skies to low-light interior. But the popping and fizzing of laughter and conversations fueled by Old-Fashioneds is immediate.
