Sprint2,
If you like fried chicken check out The Chicken Place bar in Ireland. Just head to Jasper on 231 and take a left on 56 and go about 5 miles. Been there forever, neat as a pin and really,really good!! You are in a good spot to make pretty quick runs up to Bloomington Speedway, Brownstown and Salem and, of course, Haubstadt.Plenty of beer joints around. You won't go thirsty. Welcome to Southern Indiana. Pretty scenery around this area.
