I'm growing up, why can't you?

Mom and I went to Louie's Bar and Grill downtown today. It's a pretty solid establishment, and I enjoyed it.
The menu is only 1 page long, but it's divided into sections (Burgers, Sandwiches, Soup & Salads, Entrees, etc.) and each section is a specific price, as opposed to all items being different. I like that idea, it seems to make a lot of sense. Mom got a quesadilla and I got a rather large bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink, and the whole bill totaled to about 17 bucks. They also had quite the liquor selection, though I didn't feel like partaking at 11 AM. It seems like a decent, grown-up people bar for the rest of us who don't enjoy the Strip atmosphere.

I think a thing like this is exactly what Stillwater needs. With the Children's museum opening, Vault moving back Downtown, and Louie's doing well, we could see a nice revamping of downtown's atmosphere that's been lacking for a while. A place that's nice for the whole family during the day and turns into an intelligent adult scene at night. Too often in Stillwater, it's just franchise after franchise, and if you wanted any sort of nightlife, you better be willing to deal with college cowboys. Maybe we'll see Stillwater get a bit more mature. Maybe.
