Still unpacking from our whirlwind trip to and from Missouri and have a few images to share.
The one above, from a favorite regular dinner stop on the way up. Last time we were there, a guy fell off a bar stool. Made for great entertainment. Not so lucky this time.
But I did grab a shot across the room that doesn’t hold up so well for details of the small sign above the chunky patron. It reads..
[su_button target=”blank” style=”soft” background=”#eadea1″ color=”#1f1717″ size=”5″ wide=”yes” center=”yes” radius=”5″ icon=”icon: pagelines” icon_color=”#ffffff” text_shadow=”1px 1px 0px #000000″ desc=”‘Our town is so small we can’t afford a town drunk, so we all take turns.'”][/su_button]
Ah the American Heartlands. Gotta love her.
Love the sign! Nothing quite so folksy (and funny) as the local bar!
I’ve heard the same saying, with the substitution of Village Idiot for Town Drunk. And someone’s comment, “Hey, why do I get so many turns?”
We have a favorite local bar that offers “Free Beer Tomorrow”. They also have a sign that says “If we don’t meet your standards, please lower them”.
I really enjoy RVing through lots of tiny towns. We always stop for brunch in local diners, and is it ever fun.
What part of MO? My daughter is matriculating in Springfield.
