Something New, Something Old Here in Spring Grove

And, it's not getting married, either.

Yesterday,the new McDonald's opened on US-12.  I've been there both days enjoying the $1 specials: Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin with Egg and Daily Double.  Business is good and both times there was little delay in getting the order as sometimes happens at new places as crews are learning their jobs.  I did hear one supervisor telling the kids at the cash registers that they can get coffees if that is all that is ordered.

It's nice having a McDonald's here in Spring Grove.  I like their dollar menu and actually like their sausage McMuffins on it just as well as the other two breakfast items I mentioned.  However, there might be some problems when they get around to having McRibs again.  Way too close, you know and I am really oon them.

The something old that we have here in Spring Grove, Illinois, is the reopening of the downtown (if you can call what we have a downtown) bar on the corner of Main Street.  It is in a building that was built around 1895 and had been closed for about a year.  It is now called Never Sink Inn, a play on words for the Nippersink Creek that runs nearby.  They have a canoe as part of their logo.

The new owners have put in a lot of work remodeling the place and updating things.  It took them three months of hard work.  It was called Town Tap when we moved here in 1992 and was that for most of the time.  There have been two other places in it, the last being O'Shaney's.

Good to Have Them.  --RoadDog
