North

yes the old Hamm.s beer commercials not only sold Hamms it sold the northwoods idea...now if I could walk into that place with the jukebox, vintage library and 15 year old wine bottles covered with dust set up behind the bar with a droopy old lady on one of the stools facing the door saying --droopily--  well, well look who's here - I'd be off in a flash-- and pay through the nose to see the barkeep limping along from one end of the bar to the other serving up beer and brandy with his nose to the till while droopy narrated her version of that damn man Edmund Fitzgerald himself --those two stalwarts provided not only themselves but a piece of Americana  with a real outhouse and cabins with chipmunks to boot.. how ya goin'  t'beat that?
