Dan's Downtown Tavern, Saline

Every town seems to have a “local” watering hole – you know the one: It’s not highly advertised, but all the locals know about it. If you’re not a local, you’d miss it.






In Saline, that would be Dan’s Downtown Tavern. It’s my favorite
place to eat out in Saline, and has been for many years. In fact, it’s
likely that I’ve eaten out at Dan’s more often than at all other restaurants in our area, combined. Yes, yes, I know – but it’s that good.







During the summer, I play golf. Not every day, mind you, but I enjoy getting out to play as often as I can. Most of the time, it’s an afternoon round of golf, followed by a visit to Dan’s.


OK, picture this: That first swig of draft beer after a round of golf. Can you just taste it, right now? That’s why I’ve visited Dan’s so often. Order up a 2-patty burger with sweet potato fries (say what? Try them, they’re great!) and you’ve got a great post-game meal.



So, if you’re looking for a comfortable place to eat in Saline, be sure to visit Dan’s. Here’s all the map stuff you’ll need to find it. Enjoy!

Do you need a haircut?

How many barbers are there in the United States?

It’s funny what you remember, isn’t it?

When I was interviewing for a job during my senior year in college (Michigan, 1981), one of the interviewers asked me that opening question about barbers immediately after introducing himself.

I was momentarily stunned, but recovered quickly enough to retort “Why, do you need a haircut?”

He laughed, and the interview proceeded nicely, although I didn’t end up taking their job offer.

So here I am 25+ years later, enjoying life in Saline. And you’ll notice from my photo on this blog, that I’m remarkably coiffed. How did I get that way?

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Bill Stolberg, the owner of Bill’s Barber Shop in Saline, for many years now. Other than having a thick head of hair, I owe the appearance of my hair to Bill.

Stop in and visit with him sometime. You’ll be glad you did!
