Some of the best wings in the downtown, elsewhere in Hudson, North Hudson, Houlton, and your side hustle happenings, to boot

Barkers wings, and more, and this could give wings to prom-like tunes, and Bud and Billy in Burkhardt

— Only Barkers (or on very rare occasion San Pedro, faves cited by my source I met at a St. Paul bar, who didn’t know they were of the same ownership), had only once (upon) a food, anything there other than their himself-described, best-ever wings, which he orders frequently. Just the right level of crispyness, he says, never soggy. In fact, as we talked, he said he was just at Barker’s the day before. And to give that type of food offering more wings, there is a wings challenge for who has the best ones going on at a number of taverns in both Hudson, North Hudson and Houlton for the next few weeks. You can enter for $25 and sample this type of food at six different venues, over and above Barker’s.
— A sign at Shooter’s in River Falls bills this as a prom musical event worthy of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, featuring DJ Logan and running around the time frame in which you’d typically see the grand march and thereafter, going on at the tavern this weekend. And across the street at Mel’s Downtowner, who can keep toasty until spring fully hits on their patio that’s been open for over two years. Under the great big awning connected by a door to the main tavern, there is a long bar rail and seating, and has been installed this winter several large doors that fold up and down like you would have in front of your garage. No matter what the weather you can be essentially outdoors. There also are tables on the patio between the awning area described and the wall of the building to the north.
— Dilly, Dilly, buy a Bud (I assume this venue is one of the those who do serve it, and that’;s not universal) and go see Bigly. That’s the band that is bringing their classic sounds to the Willow River Saloon on Saturday evening, March 23.

Thou protesteth too much?!? That be me. Computer geek? Can’t see. Omniscient? I am not He. If you are reading my attempted Facebook teaser, it was supposed to be All About The Football, or even futbal, in freeze frame or infinite loop, but that Alleged Giant, of social media, clipped off the wording top and bottom, front and back, fore and aft, day and night, (that last part is important), then sent the post anyway, a yammering of names!

But seriously, folks … There is a moral to the story, if you read to the very end. Last weekend, we combined a full moon, along with the day and evening entering into it, with a harvest moon and its day-into-night when the applicable seasons change. If you go out on the town, the Hudson downtown, you go less than a block before you see it’s different, and skewed in a crazed direction, even more on Friday — and others reinforced this — the night before the full moon, when the seconds ticked away into Saturday. Bar workers will tell you...
The autumn season, just started officially, is now far enough along to bring the pro football season to an (extra) point where a team as of this weekend could have, conceivably, faced all the other rivals in their division. Depending on which one we’re in. If the division consists of five (teams), they’re still possibly alive, although Black and Blue. So I continue my nightlife writing anew, even though my favorite NFL team was not showing up as faithfully. So, maybe for now just amble over to the apple orchard and pick some (forbidden) fruit … Or: In our case, up in...
Listen to your rock stars, not your politicians. And not those at wholesome or not, rally-around-the-flag hometown fests. Or seen on the city streets and federal freeways when Old Glory is shown in all its glory everywhere. And I walk and talk, and bawk and squawk, gingerly among them all. This as 9/11 is still all the rage, and at times being used not for glorifying the many fallen, but for gain, mostly political, whether in online forums or the hallowed halls of government, or by those who will take the opp to make a racial or culturally based point....
Being a Wisconsinite, west side, I’ve seen a few people I know pop up at the Minnesota State Fair, now and then and again, but not like this time, with a pop-up-stand artist at a talk show.I was with a friend and we sat down in the bleachers, and a guest was brought up that turned out to be — someone who I knew from back in Hudson, an artist with a co-op gallery she owned set up in the middle of the downtown a few years ago. When I had moved to that part of town, I crossed paths...
They’ve added a coffee bar, so you can have a foray of seating for four on stools in front of it, a wine bar and a petite table for two directly in front of the southwest window, and plenty of inexpensive drinks, but other than that The Urban Table as it is known is much like the former Urban Olive and Vine before it. The man who is the brains behind Hudco To Go has brought those $3 premium drinks and more to the restaurant that is kitty-corner to the, again, southwest when you take Locust Street and venture onto...
