Found a good BBQ place. Excellent ribs, nice place. Owners are retiring and sold the place (will be turned into a German restaurant).
Not all bad, German food = good
Oh, no question. I love me some saurbraten and jaeger schnitzel. We did find another BBQ place, much more casual and BYOB.

Still, in two and a half months, three places I find that I really like no longer exist.

I am wondering if the place that burned down will take over the place that closed instead of rebuilding on their old site.

Backing out of the driveway Sunday to let my wife out of the garage. I see the garage door go up 18". Down. Up 18". Down.

Went to see what was going on. The spring that helps run it up had broken. Garage door is ugly and loose. Should have replaced it 5 years ago.

I'm meeting contractors for quotes on a new one the rest of the week.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Mark, it's a sad fact that eating establishments don't last up there, mostly they diedue to long winters without tourists to spend their money.

What places closed? Have you tried the taproom of the microbrewery off main street or the hotel Wayne? There is also dyberry forks on main as well.

Backdraft (on 590) burned. R&Js Wild Rover (also 590) closed. Bongos Roadhouse (191/196) was sold.

I see two microbreweries nearby, Wallenpaupack in Hawley and Jam Room in Newfoundland. Both about ten miles from me.

I think they're both more brew pub than microbrewery. Irving Cliff brewery has a tiny tap room, and they were planning on offering kegged beer to buy(admittedly with a rather stiff deposit for the kegs - I was told they just bought a large number of new European kegs and wanted to protect their investment) but that was a year and a half a go.

Another place you might want to try is Tick Tocks, about a mile south of Honesdale. If your really willing to travel, there's a place on main street, called Newberrys yard of ale - the food and tap list is very good, prices aren't outrageous, but its a long drive to grab a quick bite to eat.

According to google maps Tick Tocks is 14 miles from me. Not too bad for a bite but a bit far to have a couple beers. Both the bars that closed we're about two miles, and I'm a mile from the gate. Literally a see or two down the road.

Or am I the only one here who knows how far a see is?

14 miles too far?!

Give it a year. Then it becomes anything less than an hour drive is " just down the road" :lol:
