My dad, The Don, served in the Marine Corps in the early 1960's after the whole getting kicked out of Catholic school and slugging a priest scandal. (I did mention that I'm a 2nd generation Bad Catholic, right?) He then used the GI Bill to fund college. It was a transformational experience for him, and my mom tells me that every year on November 10th, the anniversary of the founding of the Marine Corps, he'd go out and have a drink and this was something that we should all do this year in memory of Daddy.
Personally, I was going to start a tradition of spending Father's Day at the track, but this is a good idea too. The only problem is, I don't have a bar. I don't often drink, and as a rule bars freak me out. Too much drinking going on around me makes me afraid for my personal safety. Any suggestions of places to go? I thought maybe Sullivan's up on Madison, since they have cider and that heavenly cheese dip that The Don would have loved. My enjoyment of the cheese dip might be diminished due to the whole heart attack thing. Harry Buffalo has good onion rings.....Anyway--where's a good place on a bus line to go for a cocktail (or cider, since that's the only 2 things I like to drink) and a little dinner next Friday?

since i never ventured past Avon, I don't know that I'm much help. But there was a great little sports bar up in Avon Lake... :)
