This past week, the Local Tourist and the Mrs. took a trip to Port Huron for an overnight stay. Perhaps Port Huron rests a little outside the "local" definition, but it was not much more than an hour away, so I contend it qualifies.
We enjoyed a nice meal at Vintage Tavern, opting for interior dining instead of the roof top experience. According to their website, we would have had a nice view of the St. Clair River from there, but the first floor also seemed a little quieter.
We enjoyed a nice walk along the St. Clair River under the Blue Water Bridge. We appreciated seeing a Great Lakes freighter float by, the Algoma Guardian. Then we drove to the downtown area and walked a few blocks to enjoy the older buildings. We spent a bit of time in an antiques store that just seemed to go on and on. It is a bit unsettling to count the items I knew from childhood in an antique store. Staff at a different antique store I had visited some years ago assured me that those are "collectibles," not old enough to be antiques.
Finally, before the return trip home, we enjoyed some fish at the Black and Blue Brewery on the Black River.
