Anyone else remember or have a favorite Classic Diner or Dive Bar where you can get a good burger ? and beer ? Maybe some great fried fish an fries and ice cold draft beer ?
I remember a long, long time ago when we'd go to or from one of the countless Cleveland Indians games or the memorable Cleveland BROWNS games some of the joints we'd hit some in small towns between our meeting point in Girard Ohio and the best location in the nation Cleveland !
Many of those small ma & pa joints I'm afraid are long gone now.......but great food, a juke box, some booths and maybe a pool table.
Ah memories ! Now doesn't that just look good !

Puckers in North Canton.....Not an old place, but great food....the Chicken Quesadillas are fantastic!
Oldie but goodie.....John's Bar in Canton......Nothin' fancy, just all food is excellent & menu has some different stuff & lots of beer. I am ESPECIALLY partial to the Smelt (when available) with Cocktail Sauce & a Greek Salad! I've enjoyed John's since we moved to Canton in 1974. The quality is STILL as good as it was back then! It remains our favorite.

Got this in my email today from Jersey Mike's a nice looking PORTABELLA MUSHROOM & SWISS with onions, green peppers. I will definitely be checking this one out soon. On the Boardman Ohio menu $8.95.
10 freakin degrees out this morning I think the grill will stay parked for awhile ! (The wife says it looks good, her kind of takeout meal.)

Jersey Mike's has become our favorite sub shop. Great "package deals" too!

We've pretty much been living out of the pantry and the near freezing garage for drinks so we can keep all the stuff cold in the fridge by not opening if for fear of lost power for unknown periods of time for more than a week now. Our power has been off and on so many times I could retire again if someone would pay me a $10 / time per week. I make a mean Ritz cracker with crunchy peanut butter for sure. Did score some wildflower honey to mix with the peanut butter yesterday too.??

Only one more hour below freezing with only one more brief touch of it @ 32F overnight Sun. From then on for at least two weeks no more freezing weather. Now the state is trying to recover potable drinking water as they fix all broken mains and individual breaks in homes. Our 2 kids both live within 5 min. but their side of the main street is on boil while we are not. They bring their families here for showers and fill containers from our "good" water. My daughter gets a refill of their propane today they think. They were down to less that 10% which they use for keeping the house above 50F inside. Worst we got was 58F during one of the rolling blackouts when it was 5F outside.
