🏈Friday night football has us feeling a little nostalgic.

Our last history post got SO many great memories and stories, so we figured we’d keep it going.

After the football game, where did everyone go?

What was your go-to spot back in the day? And if you remember, what did you always order?

Tell us about it in the comments!

🟢 North Iowa Bison 70 — Harris-Lake Park 6
