WINONA IS A RIVER TOWN. A college town. A place of history, historic buildings, memorable businesses. And more, much more.
I’ve savored homemade root beer at the iconic Lakeview Drive Inn in Winona.

Bloedow’s Bakery is located at 451 E. Broadway St. in Winona. Minnesota Prairie Roots file photo September 2014.
I’ve tasted a bacon-topped, maple-iced long john from Bloedow’s Bakery.
And I wish I’d had time to duck into Sloppy Joe’s Liquor to grab a beer and maybe a sloppy joe, if the sandwich is served there, and to hear the story behind the bar’s name.
The same goes for The Penguin Zesto. What’s with that name? The drive-in was closed when I visited Winona. No ice cream for me on that September day. Only questions. I always have questions.
FYI: Check back tomorrow for another post in my series from Winona.
