Yes he is, or so it would seem. Check out the latest bit of trivia concerning some aspects of the Forsyth business community. This month, I focus on some of the eateries and bars that populate this community. Click here for the .pdf link! Am I fair and precise? No, not really. I hope, however, that I can motivate a few citizens to get out and see for themselves how the local businesses strive so hard to service us. Folks, until things change in this great country, survival for many of these entrepreneurs will hinge on your patronage and love. We are all in this together! Aren't we?

River Run Update – May 2012 – Riverside camping slots now available, but…

I had the pleasure of meeting one of the Park Attendants who are volunteering at River Run this season. Her name is Sue and I understand that her and her husband are from the Great State of Texas!

I stopped in the small office located by the entrance to the park to inquire about the condition of the campsites by the river. She confirmed my suspicions that the power was out in all those locations, but that the water was on! Also, these spots can be had for the bargain price of something like $9 per night. Since I have a small power generator to use, that sounded like a great deal.

But wait! There’s more! It also turned out that I’m eligible to apply for a USGS Senior Pass Card that the Corps of Engineers also honors even though they are not required to.  And, that card will afford me half price fare in the park. Now that is a good deal!

White River Grille serves it up your way! Cudos!

Sorry! I ate through half this meal before thinking!

Bill Kitchin told me one afternoon that I could have a hotdog at the White River Gill in Rockaway Beach Missouri pretty much anyway I wanted it made.  I told him I wanted an authentic Chicago-style Hotdog. He said, ‘No problem’.

So, I stopped by his restaurant one afternoon and ordered just that. I must apologize for the picture as; a) I was famished and b) it was a darn good meal!  However, I think you’ll get the idea that the food served there is pretty darn tasty!

You can pick up additional information and even inspect the menu by going to their site.

Mountain Men at Rockaway Beach May 18-20

I don't have much intel on this event, sorry to say. Last year I've heard that these folks dress up in 1840 type garb and have an area in Rockaway where they camp out (everything in the camp is of the period also) and have a good time. Should be interesting.

The Junction Bar and Grill is not a biker bar!

I guess someone got in their heads that since the owner owns a Harley that his business must also be for bikers. Not true according to Mike Osterday, owner of the Junction Bar and Grill located in Kissee Mills off Hwy 160-76.  I’ve been there numerous times to eat and haven’t seen nary a bike parked out front. No, this is an eatery that caters to the general public and yes, I understand that bikers are very welcome there, but then again, so are roofers, retirees, public officials and just about everybody in between!

Just three weeks since they originally opened, I’ve already notice some nice changes with more to come according to Mr. and Mrs. Osterday. On my last trip out there for an outstanding hamburger, I met Mike’s better half – Maggie who was taking orders while her husband cooked. They both were just as pleasant as can be.

This is one eatery and bar that I sure hope hangs in there and ultimately becomes a success. Next time you swing by that way, please stop in and say hi! Oh, and did I mention that this eatery has a WiFi Hot Spot for anyone with a laptop? Need more info? The bar can be reached by calling 417-546-2550!
