When I first moved down here in 2001, Hilltop was a bar that served burgers and fries. It was all locals and if anyone walked in they was not a regular, they all turned and stared you down. There could have been dead bodies in the dark back corner and no one would have noticed or cared.

And that was the friendly crowd. I started going in there in the mid 70's and it was a rough joint. It and Blind River Bar were the only building on the ditch called Diversion. Friend of mines parents ran under a barge on it one night about that mid 70's time and died. And yes, one armed Joe was the bartender.
