Greetings from Green Bay
I am here in Green Bay checking off another item on my sports bucket list: seeing a game at Lambeau Field. And it should be a really good one.
We went out last night on the town to various bars, mostly on Washington street, after a ritual visit to "fuzzy's." (Packers fans can tell me later if we were on the right track with these choices). My friend (who lives in DC) and I were shocked to pay only $2 a beer at the first bar we were at. It turned out that this was virtual price gouging in the local market. We never paid more the rest of the evening than $1 for a mug of draft, on a Saturday night yet. Yet another good reason to stay off the coasts.
For the record, Green Bay is really a very nice, tidy little town. Kind of quiet, like many small towns -- they set all the traffic lights to flashing yellow last night about 8PM. The only difference between it and any other nice midwestern town is that every single business has "packers" in its name somehow and roughly 30% of the population at any one time is wearing something with "FAVRE" on the back. Who is this Favre guy? I thought he played in New York ;=)
