To Appease the Divine One

The Divine One (my Dad) apparently keeps looking at my blog for updates and I have all but abandoned this one. Maybe a monthly update I could keep up with, life must be pretty good because this used to be a release for me of all my thoughts.

My Parents grew up in Plymouth WI and both families (Stegers and Andrews) had a tie to the fabric in the growth of the town. Stegers had a sheet metal business that eventually moved into heating and eventually air conditioning. Probably the first in town but everyone new Grampa George. The Andrews owned the local watering hole and beds for the night. Right down the winding road over the river sat the City Club. I only remember little things from the place. Pool, fryer behind the bar and the back apartment after walking through the long hallway to get to it. I know there were snacks back there but I can't remember what they were......oh wait now I remember little pretzel barrels.

The City Club was sold a couple of years back and I thought it would be a shame if it wasn't in the Andrews Family in some way. Take all the old photos throughout the years, tie the history to the building, listen to all the old stories and recreate the laughter that came out through the screen doors on the hot summer nights. At the very least if for only a family gathering place.
