Salem, IL

[kunaji]

I will be staying overnight in Salem, IL around 8 MAR. Anybody know of any good restaraunts in the area or want to do a small M & G?

 

[HaleYes]

Haleyes! Salami is just a quick jaunt down the road for me.

I'll find someplace good to eat.

Oh, you like fish? It's a little bit out of town but the Leaky Bucket has good stuff. It's on the lake probably 5-6 miles out of town.

I think we've got a wedding and reception that day but.......

 

[seanR]

There is an Applebees right on the exit...

HTH

 

[HaleYes]

Yep.

There's a BK and a McDonanlds on the east side of the interstate, and Taco Bell is just a bit further east! Man! We've got all kinds of options!

There's a high dollar joint, that's way to classy for us in Salami as well. It's called "The Depot".

Ohhh....fine dining.

Truth be told, the Leaky Bucket is pretty nice. They may even have a website. I'll look.

 

[IllianaXJ]

Too bad Salem isn't a little closer... 2 hours is a little far for food.

 

[kunaji]

Well, gee golly!! Sounds like there's plenty of places to get good food there.

Judging by the time the serials are getting to Salem, I'll probably be rolling in at around 530-6.

 

[HaleYes]

Byron, you get here, and you can ride with me.

Doesn't look like the Leaky Bucket has a website. It is located in Stephen A. Forbes State Park. My parents go there all the time, and really like it. It just recently was purchased by an individual and has went from "concession" to a full fledge restaurant.

Truth be told, Applebees would probably suit us a little better.

I'll see what I can do. That's on the tail end of my spring break, and with WF being the weekend before I don't know if I'll be allowed out :whip:

Bring her along then!!! Just say you've got "special" dinner plans or something.

 

[kunaji]

Change 1, I should now be rolling through on 7 MAR unless it gets changed again.

 

[HaleYes]

Count me out now. I'll be at work.

 

[HaleYes]

Any updates? Still the 7th?

 

[kunaji]

Surprisingly there have been no changes on my end. I was expecting 2-3 but so far we've been concrete on leaving the 7th.

Did your work schedule change?

 

[HaleYes]

What time on the 7th? I won't get out of work until 9:30pm at the earliest. Then, I'd have a 30 min drive to Salem.

 

[HaleYes]

I'm open all day Sat. the 8th.

 

[kunaji]

I'll be rolling into town around 5 and hanging out in the hotel after that. 10 is a little late for dinner.

 

[kunaji]

I'm open all day Sat. the 8th.

I'm sure you are!!!

We'll be leaving fairly early on Sat so that's kind of out for me.

 

[HaleYes]

Well, crap.

I'm fairly flexable so let me know if things change. It'd be great to hang out for a bit. I really can't afford to take off Friday. I'm hoarding vacation days for Moab.
