Scooter’s 633rd bar, first visited in 2009.

This was a place we had selected simply because of its name. If we had pulled up and found it was named anything else, we were going to move on. Thankfully we found that we could indeed go on inside for a drink.

We sat at the large rectangular bar. It was now lunchtime and a few tables were occupied with families sitting down for a meal. We watched an episode of “”The World’s Most Amazing Videos”" and drank the raspberry version of Mike’s Hard Lemonade. This would be the last of the girly drinks of the day, our stomachs were now ready for a return to beer.

Scooter’s 630th bar, first visited in 2009.

This one came very close to not making the cut, but it was saved only because the very nondescript web site suggested that it was a dive even though the location suggested to us otherwise. We were intrigued enough to check it out.

The Lighthouse was very tricky to get to from Maple. It was only barely visible — we’d never have spotted had we not plotted its location in advance. Two congested left turns, then a parking lot maze that took us around the back of a strip mall in order to get us around to the far side where the entrance was.

It was still early so we were the only customers. We watched part of the movie “”Cocktail”" with the bartender and learned about the heroics of a local legend, illustrated in one of the photos above.
