This is gonna be a big one.
Just realized I was replying to something that didn't have anything to do with the Hob Nob, but since I wrote this up already, for anyone who has the time:
The Hob Nob is at the corner of Main Street and Van Buren, the main intersection in the middle of town. It is a two story white frame structure on the southwest corner, built in 1880-something, IIRC.
When I was a kid, it was a drug store run by Maurice "Pods" Miller, a really old fashion style drugstore, altho I did not know it then. It had a soda fountain along one side.
One day it caught fire upstairs and burned out the roof and upper floor. Pods was going to tear it down and build a new one but everyone squawked because it was an historic building.
So Pods had the roof re-constructed. During the work the many years of wall paper and paint were scrapped off, down to the original, and it revealed a vary patriotic pattern, with red/white/blue bunting and eagles and such. Some of this was preserved just above the entrance --- when you go in, turn around and look up and you can see it.
Pods finally retired and sold the building, not sure who actually owns it, but the restaurant has been there a long time now, and is a local gathering place. Lots of pictures of local people and scenes on the walls.
I always stop in and get breakfast when I visit. Altho I live in texas now, I think the Hob Nob has the best Huevos Rancheros -- that's my recommendation.
Hope you all get to visit and enjoy the meet-up, the brewery, and the Hob Nob.
