Supper Clubs....
Love the process of going out to eat at these. Go to the bar for a brandy old fashioned before heading to your table, followed by the complimentary plate of radishes/green onions/etc, dinner, then back to the bar for another round or two or three

Abita put me on to these. I texted him about something different but solid gas station nonetheless.
Cumbies!
I don't think there are any Irving gas stations down south. Maybe even outside of New England.

I have a culvers in my small town. Overrated (or maybe they dont do it right here). They are pretty much the last burger place i would choose (and we have about 20 choices for burgers).
For fast food I like Culvers more than anything else we've got in Georgia

Sort of like Tractor Supply. Has the best pair of $9 jeans on the planet. And cheap Chinese tractors.

What are some businesses you’ve seen up there and you don’t see it or rarely see it here down south?
I think a couple people have already mentioned cheese curds. I never was able to find a spot down south that had them. While we're bullshitting, pizza in the south is trash.

I haven’t been to a Wawa so I can’t compare. But I bet that place is awesome too.

best coffee & food from a gas station
I didn't realize until a couple of years ago that there are WaWa's in Florida now. Was driving along near Orlando, saw the sign and had to stop. Didn't seem to be of the same quality as the ones I've been to around Philly, though.

Off topic but when you drive through the countryside in Wisconsin or Illinois they don't have the trash and litter and crap stacked up in their yards we have down here in the south. I just can't figure out why they don't trash up their homesteads.

I went to a Wisconsin Walmart when I was working up there. And people put the buggies in the buggy rack and not let them roam the parking lot

Bars, like neighborhood bars. There are tons of them. My theory was it’s too cold in the winter to do much else so there is a market for them, unlike the south where it’s typically warmer and people can still be doing other things.

Sheetz is solid. Went there a lot when we lived in PA.

Sheetz was decent food when nothing else was open

You are 100% right. Skyline chili sucks. Even those lame coneys and Vernor’s sodas in the Detroit area are a far superior culinary tradition.
Portillo’s (Chicago) is okay. I don’t think they’d make it in the south. It’s a good environment for kids but the food is mostly bland. For all those calories, Portillos should taste better.

Actual neighborhood bars.
The ones where working stiffs in their 30s and 40s go to on the way home from work or after dinner to chill.

The La Crosse area has 6.9 bars for every 10,000 people.
That actually seems low.

Just being honest: My first trip into Michigan was around age 30, and I was taken aback when I saw local roadway signs saying the area had been adopted by the "Daughters of the Union."
That's just bizarre. Never in my 46 years...

the first time I ever walked the streets in Milwaukee the first thing that stuck out was that there was literally a bar on every block in residential areas, and upon closer examination the bars were mostly extensions of the residence, or vice versa
