The three-day weekend is past before becoming four, but some of its specials persist, at least four signs worth by my math, so don’t take a pass on it. Read all about it first, then trek on down to a very diverse downtown with these deals. (Even here).

Four different and diverse ways/deals/offers/specials. Some seasonal, as we have spring/summer. Some shandies, or quite shady as from Sam Adams.
The 4 North salon, as it says on its signs, will get you as tan-ready — multiple times already — as my new, fresh-off-college, friend/twice-a-week bartender at The Agave, only nights, and doing service as a day server once a week, giving her a window of time for tanning. To mash some of the 4 North messages together and paraphrase: “Let” us spring forth and get your hair set for summer with a new do, since you needed a break after we did you up for spring break. Lest you stay too light in skin tone. To avoid this, just leave it all on the floor, veer left and go in the door. But not for lettuce. That would be up on The Hill.
When Winter turns to summer and its shandies, seasonal varieties need to be discounted, as known by this average Joe, whose last name is Winter. Leading the way is the dark Winter-named variety by Sam Adams. (Do Gomez and Morticia know about this? Wednesday is not of age, until her Thursday birthday. If it makes her 21, that will be the ultimate rager.) So hey, when I found that for a short time, you and/or I can get it in the sign-on-it-says shopping cart up-front at The Spirit Seller, for only $5.99. Dangerous bit of knowledge.
The Kwik Trip last chance Friday delivery is/was at 50 cents, and in this new summer season you could get a gallon of ice cream for under five bucks — minus said fee. Right Said Fred on a good Friday. He adds on his social media site that what goes round (like his small tush) comes around, so there will soon be a revisiting of this special, as well as a new concert tour, (just embellishing very broadly). This ice cold treat was billed as a hot deal to melt for. So much so, for need of further explanation, that the minimum was listed at $5, followed by a plus sign, followed by an asterisk, followed by a period.
Also shown on a sign. “Waiting for a sign? This sign might be that sign.” Come on in and take advantage of what the specials on their sign say — they being Bennett’s. You don’t even have to sign up. This effort was earlier announced with chalk on the sidewalk; much like had been done years earlier when this building housed something far different, the Dibbo’s rock club.

  • Heartland Days stays true to the heart of its name and lets kids of all ages rule the roost. Photograph them and give them their due aND turn behind the wheel, with A garden tractor or FFA approved. There’s music, too, if you wait to the fest’s end, after the parade.
As the months turned, this is the season for truck and tractor pulls, (and corn feeds, too, all around), and this time around moreso, the kids are all right and cooking and taking the reins, as this weekend in Hammond Heartland Days, in the heart and center of St. Croix County. To that early-in-statement end, there is a truck and tractor pull At The Days, but don’t diss or miss it, it is not necessarily for these huge hulksters seen on ESPN lunking things like a semi and than climbing (aboard) up the steps of a set of bleachers to...

  • Costs are rising up and patience is going down. Voter apathy meanwhile, still is continuing to flatline, as it flails around mental self flagulation, while all around us are signs that all things economic are just getting worse and worse. Here are some of these signs, from the strapped, baking and broiling breadbasket of the country.
A snapshot from the hampered heartland. Where the music won’t play for days anymore. This just in, an old shack located at 1 Terra Parma in Indiana will cost you $2K a month to rent. Hey, you could get a mortgage, with such dirty deeds done dirt cheap. The good news is that it includes utilities; but there’s no AC. That old tack is an old joke, but the rest of this isn’t. To get there, you are bus riders on the storm, and it’s a bad one, as when the greyhound grey line is nearly full on a Tuesday...

  • The Minnesota Nine was up 16-0, and this is not football with a couple of two-point conversions after TD, before the other squad came up with the equivilant of a safety. Not a single goal or field goal. Other zeroes also, recently, were put up. It’s all listed under the latest sports bar viewing news.
In a recent Minnesota Twins game, there were, what, eight of them runs that were doubled as they are Twins, as the home team led 16-0 after five innings, as viewed at Hudson Tap. This is not U.S. football with a couple of two-point conversions, and certainly not futbal, though they televise a lot of soccer. If there ever was a reason to invoke the old high school baseball and softball mercy rule, it was time, and I had been on both sides of that many a time back in my playing days. (The other pro ball squad shortly afterward...

  • The (World) Cup runneth over on the global stage, but not for the U.S. Soccer team, only others that advanced, and were heavily watched, even locally very far from a continent that mattered. now it does that for you, so spill the wine and light the firecrackers. And ask your knowledgable bartender or other bro about that ankle twist.
I wonder if they celebrated in Belgium like they did in the U.S., in advance, partying in the streets with maybe rioting coming later, prior to the win of the former over the latter in the mere — but still highly publicized, even here — quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup that would continue on for another two weeks or so, then bow out soon after killing the U.S. hopes. The Elite Eight, if I can borrow a term from NCAA basketball, can be a bitch. First term, not second one. Wait, isn’t that a political reference? Anyway, they are...

  • Before history got very far, there was the full tilt boogie, with scores of meanings. This is also the name of an amped up upcoming two-day event at The Gaslite. Also in this post, the effort to buildup various venues is described, and the times of St. Croix County Fair music listed.
With the Full Tilt Boogie, the Friday and Saturday choppers/vans/bands/camping event at The Gaslite near Ellsworth, they offer us a lesson in not only music with the likes of Janis Joplin references and also the road running machines and what they’ll bring to the frantic jamming, but the sciences and history? (But first, there is a Friday movie and DJ at The Gaslite, and on Saturday a premier Van Halen cover band, Extermination Day Band, (know your history), the Rumours Band and Smokey Mirror.) But (sub)-standard or lesser known historical subtexts of the event title for the 17th and 18th,...
