NTNing Down the Road- NTN and Dubuque Part 1

We just got back from a five day mini-vacation in honor of our 34th wedding anniversary. Anytime we're out there on the road, we like to visit places with our favorite game called NTN/Buzztime. This is where you get boards called playmakers and answer questions off a TV. This is interactive and you're competing with people from the same place, and all over the US and Canada.

We added five new places to our list of sites that we have played at in the past ten years. We now have visited a total of 598 places in many states, but mostly Illinois and Wisconsin. So far this year, we've stopped at 42 new sites (we don't count places we've gone to before). Besides Il and Wi, we've been in Indiana and Kentucky. Usually, there would have been more, but we've stayed close to home in these days of gas gouging.

Last Wednesday, we visited Buffalo Wild Wings in Dubuque, Iowa. We still call this chain BW3 as it was originally called Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck (hence the three w's). They started in Columbus, Ohio, by some transplanted Buffalo people who wanted wings like in their hometown. These places are popping up everywhere. We even got one in Round Lake Beach, which really surprised us since they used to only build by colleges or tourist spots. One great thing about BW3s is that they all have NTN. Many NTNers refer to the chain as B-Dubs. This BW3 is located way out west of Dubuque and just recently opened. We were still in the Midwest's monsoon season that we're having this year, and the rain was washing lots of dirt into the parking lot.
