It is going to have an impact on some of the small towns in the area, economically.  Fortunately, no one was hurt, but it is going to make access to LBL hunting ground take a lot longer.

I usually stay in Cadiz. Wont be too big a problem for me,but the folks on the other side will have  to drive a lot further to get there.

Belew's is the drive up dairy bar.  Good burgers and shakes, but I dont think they open until May.  Not sure though.

I will miss that breakfast at Aurora during spring turkey season. Grand Rivers and Lake City have good breakfast also and I usually go to LBL thru the north end.

Yeah that will stink not getting to cut over to Belew's this season. I go into LBL from the south end but usually got lunch at Belew's. Hopefully they will get the bridge repaired quickly.

Harder question - the owners name was??  Took my wife and I a long time to remember this one.  I couldn't even find it on "google" but we eventually got it. 

Don't know that one I only ate there a few times back in the 70's-80's.
