I remember when I was a kid taking Route 51 up to central Wisconsin to visit my Mom's family. Went through every small city, town and village on the way. Took about 8 hours. Now I can do it in 5 1/2 without speeding too much, but was a lot more interesting drive back then. Can't remember the name, but there was a little roadside cafe in Portage we would stop at on every trip. The folks who ran it would see us once or twice a year but always remembered our names. Of course when the interstate went through it went under. I remember my Mom crying when she found out it went out of business. Just another example of the things we lose by being in a big hurry all the time.
