The Restaraunt is still there, but the whole village is gone. I'd heard they had been trying to get rid of it for awhile. Another roadside attraction bites the dust.

The boat was gone! I thought the restaurant right next to the boat was gone too. I visited the boat restaurant about twenty years ago...or was it longer? The place had been there for quite some time, since the late 60's at least. Sad to see this go away. The other restaurant, the fake-snow-covered North Woods Inn (owned by the same company apparently) is still there. That one's not closing.

We had huge burgers, cheese bread, red cabbage slaw, and huge mugs of beer. I suffered all night with food poisoning. I don't think overeating could make me that sick. I'll spare you the details. Still, it's sad to hear it's gone. I enjoyed visiting all the shops when we were there. I need to get out to Clearman's Steak and Stein in Pico Rivera while it's still open.
