IT'S ALL OVER NOW , 2007

The end of another year is close at hand. What better way to finish it up then to stop on in at The Northside this weekend and New Years night. Mr. John is putting on the hand pump some Hop Wallop and if that doesn't make you happy, well then stop by New Years night. We will open at 4pm with some special dinners or just get want you want off the menu. Also in a few days the Best of 2007, so hold on to your beer belly's!

AND THE BELLS WERE RINGING OUT ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Let's face the facts. I just don't see eye to eye with Norman Rockwell or Bing Crosby or for that matter "It's A Wonderful Life". It is way too sweet for my taste at the Holidays. As Charlie Brown said "Christmas is too commercial". I get more choked up at the movie "Scrooged" when Bill Murray give his passionate speech at the end or at the greatest Christmas song ever by the Pogues and the late Kirsty MacColl, "Fairytale Of New York", when Shane and Kirsty sing this to each other at the end of the song.. "I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you"... May your hope and the dreams you build come true this Christmas.

GRAB THE MILK AND BREAD!

As the first blizzard of this winter pounds down on an unsuspecting public,the cries of hungry children and their mothers everywhere begging for milk and bread, ring out in every home. Meanwhile Dad stops by the Northside for a beer and a bite to eat. He calls home to tell them he is stuck behind a National Guard plow. Do they need anything? He pays his tab and goes down to Ortino's and picks up a pizza and a six pack for the family and himself. After all it is the 74th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition. Neither snow, sleet or rain will keep him from his duties.
