I used to go there as a kid visiting my grandparents (both sides).It's still there but now houses a pizza joint.<br /><br />I seriously considered bidding on the Moxie Bottle House at one point. Wouldn't that look great in my backyard! Of course I'd be single at that point and the kids would refuse to visit...Sponge-headed ScienceManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914014641719908195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-65769696146251354122013-04-30T14:51:25.802-04:002013-04-30T14:51:25.802-04:00Da Yoopers, I first heard a song by them called Tr...Da Yoopers, I first heard a song by them called Trollin', to the tune of the theme for Rawhide (Rowdy Yates, etc.).

I don't fish for them myself, but IIRC you're supposed to release them if they're less than 40 inches long. <br /><br />I don't know what the rules are for getting them to release <i>you</i>. People dangling fingers or toes in the water have been bitten.
