WHY COLFAX, JOHNNY?
SOME PEOPLE, (OK, EVERYONE) IS WONDERING "WHY WOULD YOU OPEN A STORE IN COLFAX?". MOST PEOPLE ASSUMED IF JOHNNY EVER REARED HIS UGLY HEAD AGAIN IT WOULD BE IN MENOMONIE SOMEWHERE. WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
FIRST, COLFAX IS CLOSE TO OUR HOME BASE-- AFTER THE GAS PRICES LAST SUMMER, THIS IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. SECOND; THE PRICE WAS RIGHT. WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW, WHO WANTS HIGH OVERHEAD? THIRD, AND MOST IMPORTANT; WE LIKE COLFAX.
COLFAX HAS A TRAIN MUSEUM, A SWIMMING HOLE, PARKS, A RIVER, MUSIC IN THE PARK ON THURSDAYS, A GOOD PIZZA PARLOR (THE BEST IN DUNN COUNTY IN MY OPINION) A GOOD BREAKFAST RESTAURANT AN IGA GROCIER , AND A REALLY GOOD DOLLAR STORE. BUT, IT'S WHAT COLFAX DOESN'T HAVE THAT WE REALLY LIKE.
COLFAX HAS NO WALMART, MCDONALDS, BURGER KING, CHECK ADVANCE, WALGREEN, AUTO PARTS STORES OR JIFFY LUBES. THE ONLY CHAIN STORES IN TOWN ARE THE TWO GAS STATIONS, AND ONE OF THEM IS IN A VINTAGE BUILDING. IF YOU LOOK AT A PICTURE OF COLFAX FROM 100 YEARS AGO YOU WILL NOTICE LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN HOW IT LOOKS TODAY. GOING TO COLFAX IS ALMOST LIKE GOING BACK IN TIME. IT REMINDS ME OF WISCONSIN IN 1975. THERE ARE KIDS RIDING BIKES , TEENS WALKING IN GROUPS AND DRIVING IN TRUCK LOADS TO THE SWIMMING HOLES, ELDERLY PEOPLE STROLLING, QUAINT LITTLE GIFT SHOPS AND CAFES, A BAKERY WITH HOMEMADE GOODIES, (AND THEY ARE GOOD!) A COOL MUNICIPAL BUILDING WITH AN ADORABLE LITTLE PARK NEXT DOOR. . . . I COULD JUST GO ON.
IF YOU WANT TO EAT LUNCH IN COLFAX DON'T BE TARDY, NEARLY EVERYTHING CLOSES AFTER 1:PM EXCEPT LITTLE ITALY. THEY OFFER PIZZA BY THE SLICE UNTIL 1:00, BUT YOU CAN STILL GET A WHOLE PIZZA OR OTHER ITALIAN DISHES AFTERWARDS. MOM'S CAFE HAS SOME UNUSUAL HOURS TOO, BUT IT IS A NICE PLACE TO EAT BREAKFAST OR HAVE A QUIET DRINK. THERE ARE 2 HOMESPUN CAFE/BAKERIES . BOTH ARE VERY GOOD. THE CAFE 44 BAKERY HAS A DRIVE THROUGH AND THE INTERNET AS WELL AS FANTASTIC HOMEMADE BAKED GOODS-- I CAN'T FORGET THE GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE I BOUGHT THERE. . . COLFAX ALSO HAS A GREAT OLD-FASHIONED WISCONSIN PUB; THE BUCK SNORT. THEY SERVE GOOD PUB FOOD AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE NAMESAKE BEER ON TAP(ONE OF LIENIE'S BEST BREWS YET).
MOST IMPORTANT TO US, THRIFTIES, IS THE BEGGATOWN THRIFT STORE. LOCATED IN THE OLD FEED STORE, THIS IS A THRIFTER'S DREAM COME TRUE; YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING FROM A VINTAGE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES GAME TO A FOOD DEHYDRATOR. THERE ARE CLOTHES, ANTIQUES, KITCHEN WARES, FARM IMPLEMENTS--YOU NAME IT. IT'S JUST LIKE GOODWILL ONLY CHEAPER--THAT'S RIGHT, CHEAPER! NANCY, THE OWNER IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO STRIKE A DEAL AND SERVE YOU A CUP OF COFFEE.
SO CHECK OUT COLFAX THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN THE MOOD TO ROAD TRIP. COME FOR THE JUNK, BUT STAY FOR THE PIZZA AND BAKED GOODS. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
