With the Gold Crown just a few days away,there are plenty of places nearby to eat,but here is a couple places you might not have heard about.
Dons No Mans Land Tavern 610 E St Louis Ave, East Alton, IL 62024 phone (618) 254-0020 was Morty's favorite watering hole,and on the first weekend of every month they have home made Taco's. Morty used to bring as many as 60 down to the parking lot at the Gold Crown in years past. Going from past posts I have seen on their facebook page, I believe they will be selling them on Friday from 11-1,and then from 3 onwards. On Saturday I believe its 11-6PM for the Taco's. Anyone that has had them will surely give you their approval.
On Saturday the Wood River Fire Dept 501 E Edwardsville Rd, Wood River, IL 62095 is having a Fish Fry from 11am till 6 PM. Cost is $9.00,and I doubt you will go away hungry. Last yr I went there with Debbie Mortland AFTER stopping in at Dons No Mans land for Taco's. This year I am going to plan ahead a bit better.
Both of these places are maybe 10 miles away if that. Not to far away.
