Day Seven...Beer and Fries at the Winner's Circle

At some point in everyone's life, we become a regular. Whether to a bar, restaurant, convenience store, hair salon, coffee shop or whatever, we become a regular. It's a nice feeling being greeted by your name, being asked about kids or your job, and asking the same of the person at the working establishment.

When Pam and I moved up to the North Shore, we found a bar called the Winner's Circle in Salisbury. It had recently opened, selling just beer and serving a few items of food. We would frequent this joint often, often on a night that a sporting event was on so we could watch it on a screen bigger than our 9" TV. Our standard was beer and fries.

Tonight would not be different. Though the place has grown, now having a full liquor license, two floors, and a large food menu, we still made our way to bar where we would always sit. Amazing, one of the original bartenders was still there. We would reminiscent about the old times. Talked about the changes while sipping our beer and munching on the fries, loaded with ketchup! That feeling of belonging quickly came back.

We spent just short of two hours consuming some beer and ginger ale, devouring our fries, watching the end of the Sox opener, and catching the beginning the Bruins game. With all the good conversation, one would have thought it was only five minutes. As in the Cheer's theme song, it's nice going where everyone knows your name!
