Prompt: What would happen if Andre opened up a bar in your home town?
My town already has 2 bars. Andre is a monkey. Maybe he would make it more fun and have a restaurant that was fancy on the other side of the building. We have people that love to drink and would hang out at the bar. Maybe the people would swing from the chandelier. Have line dancing. Maybe dance to old Rock music. Maybe he could get some old Rock Stars to appear.
What would Andre serve? I used to like Pina Colodas and Tequila Sunrise. Sex on The Beach {the drink, not the wild monkey dance!}, Zombie and Manhattan Tea. I used to hang out with wild people and they might still want to go to the bar. Play some old country music and Rock music. I mean from 60's to 2015. I gave up the new country and now Rock music.
Andre might need some good bouncers like gorilla or some other monkey primates. Andre could hire humans to work for him and serve drinks and take food orders.
Would Andre decorate his bar like a jungle, with a bridge or bamboo chairs, hummocks or swinging lights? Maybe pictures of his monkey family and friends? Maybe have the men who work there dress like Tarzan in loin cloths and the women like Jane. Do I dare offer a chimpanzee named Cheetah? Play the Guitarzan Song By Ray Stevens? Hopefully, no one will swing from the ceiling and hop from table to table.
Maybe Andre could make the bar look like a country cottage and have a drink limit. If you get mad or mean, a monkey would toss the person out. A country cottage would be more like a family setting.
A farmer's bar. Pictures of tractors, crops, cows, horses. Maybe a western bar. Horse pictures. A mechanical bull. Stay on the bull 10 minutes and get a free drink. Make the bar look like a barn. Put a fake horse or cow in in with hay or a hay wagon for decoration. Maybe a ranch post and some men and women dress up like cowboys and cowgirls. You would be playing all country music. Have a stage coach with seats to sit in.
Maybe Andre would like an ocean scene. A ocean picture. A big grass hut or bamboo hut that looks like Gilligan's Island. Maybe a boat like the SS Minnow. A life perserver on the wall and a captain steering wheel. Andre could wear a Captain' hat and a captain suit. If he pitches a fit, we can skip that idea. Maybe a Ginger look alike could sing like Marilyn Monroe for the customers. A girl like Mary Ann could serve the customers.
Some more drinks to serve. Bloody Mary, Daiquiri, Moscow Mule, Amaretto Sour, Aviation, Bellini, Black Russian, Brandy Alexander, Bronx Cocktail, Cosmopolitan, Dark and Stormy, Greyhound. These are a few I found.
I hope Andre enjoyed these decorating ideas and drinks list suggestions. This challenge has been fun. Home Sweet Home! Thank you for visiting!

Prompt: What is the biggest plus about your town?
It is a small town. I live in the country. We have a Dollar General Store that just moved in. Our town hasn't had a grocery store of any kind in years. WE have the convience store where you can get gas and goodies but Dollar General has more to offer.
Things are quiet in our town. We don't have any murders. A repair shop was robbed 20 years ago. They tied the poor guy up, a friend of mine and threw behind the counter. He got fired for no good reason. A murder happened years ago. I wrote about Al Capone and all the bodies he buried.
A plus for our town. We do a lot of farming. You used to be get off the passenger train in my town if you were going to stay with a relative or a friend in our town.
They have Auctions at a big building off the highway. I only went one years ago. The Auction served hamburgers, fries and drinks.
Kids can race go carts at a place in town.
The 4H Fair 4H Kids enter their animals and you can enter crafts and win ribbons. I won Grand Champion and Champion on my Scrapbooks. They have bake sales at the fair. You can visit old friends at the fair you haven't seen.
Everyone knows everybody. Farmers are helpful and will help you if your car breaks down or you get stuck in a blizzard. Living down country roads and being snow bound, snow plows plow snow all day until the roads are pretty much clear. It may take time but you will get plowed out.
There are farm shows with tractors close by in other towns and flea markets.
We have a library and if you can't find the books you want, the other libraries in towns close by will send the book out.
There is a Santa Claus every year by the police station in town. The kids can see him and get a present.
We do have a Fire Department and they are helpful. Our house burned down 22 years ago and the Fire Department were nice. They helped save a lot of my Dolls I had in my Doll Room.
They have a pancake breakfast and sausage breakfast in our town every so often.
If you lose your dog or cat, neighbors will be on the look out for it and help you. The same if your cow or horse jumps the fence, the neighbors will help you find it.
The town is small and we have what we need. Fire Department, local restaurant, convience store, Dollar General Store, Tire Repair Shop, Farm Repair Shop, Co-op, Police Department and Post Office. The town is next to a highway and the highway goes to a hospital near by, stores and what ever you need. We do have plus things in my town. Out town isn't perfect. So read on.
Prompt: What is the most annoying thing about your town?
Annoying things about my town. We used to get cable years ago. The shows had strange, big lines going through your shows. It was hard to tape the shows. The cable wouldn't come in at times. Now, people have dishes. We don't. We have digital TV and the channels don't want to come in. We don't who is to blame for that.
The internet. Our old internet. We hung a box on our TV antenna that would pick up signals from the Co-op and the internet would kick us off or not let us on. Talk about Oliver and Oliver from Hootervile! We don';t have to climb a pole to use our phone but hanging the computer gadget on our TV antenna, never again! We have a monitor and it works better. A lot better. WE have WIFI.
People who gossip and think they are better then others. Rich farmers down the road. I live on the same road as the rich farmers but we aren't rich. We have everything we need and I can buy what ever I want. Not Downton Abbey, a yacht but you get the idea. Most of the farmers have money in land not money, money. I get along with them and their houses aren't fancier then mine. The one guy is and you drive past his house at night, he has lights in his yard and it looks like a landing air strip for planes! I expect to see him directing planes in!
Our land phone cable was hit by a tractor or combine with his planter out and we had no phone or internet. The phone man asked who did it. A friend of ours did by accident but it wasn't Mr. Airstrip, I would have told on him.
The electric goes out. It will take 6 hours or more to get it back on. My husband gets out his generator and we wait until it comes back on.
We were the last ones to get 911 and it didn't work at first. They promised to lower our taxes and it wasn't very much. The one store has false advertising on their sales.
The Post Office is slow at delivering mail and one or twice a week and we don't get mail. They finally paved a gravel road my husband no longer uses. My husband drove down that road to go the family farm {we sold it 2 years ago} It is farmland and the deer and animals play on that road. Why pave it at all? I don't get it. Let the animals have their reserve there. I am a big, animal activist.
The school near by lets out and you need to get out of the way! I think they need a stop light by the highway and school parking lot.
They want to put a freeway in by the highway. We are Hooterville! Leave us alone! It would take ten years to build and they haven't gotten the final okay and I hope they never do. I hope they never do.
That's all I have to say about this.

Prompt: What industry is your town noted for?
That's easy. Farming! Our town, Hamlet, Hooterville is a farming community. Wheat, corn, soybeans, mint, potatoes. Mint has become popular the past few years. When you eat Girl Scout Mint Cookies, a mint blizzard or anything mint, maybe it came from my town. Mint is stored in vinyl, glass like bins. The first time I saw those 15 years ago, I was like what? Farmers haul 3 or 4 mint tubs of mint behind a tractor. You have to stay on your side of the road when driving. Mint will smell for days after it is picked. Don't ever eat it fresh from a mint patch. It will burn your tongue and make you sick. That is why it is mixed with food to make it delicious.
Wheat. We have wheat fields. I think of Garth Brooks song That Summer about a woman seducing him when he worked for her on her farm. Every time, he sees a wheat field, he thinks of her. I think of Sting's Fields Of Gold. The wheat fields are pretty. Be sure and eat your wheaties.
Corn. We have corn fields. WE get corn husks in our yard. I think of Hee Haw and their corn fields and the cast telling jokes. One I thought a corn husk take legs and walked! I was like what? It was a wild turkey and he was in the corn field but all I could see was his legs. No Twilight Zone moment after all.
Soybeans. I loved playing in the soybean wagon when I was a kid. I could have fallen in with the soybeans! Luckily, I didn't.
Potatoes. Potatoes are becoming popular the past few years. We all love French Fries and potatoes. I hope we never have a potato famine.
The Co-op has giant bins that store corn, others for wheat, and others for soybeans. I watched corn fell through an elevator in the ground by the Co-op. The crops are put in giant containers and loaded on a train as the railroad track is near by. The crops go where ever.
Some farmers have their own bins and store crops until they are ready to take them to the co-op or elevator.
Some farmers have their own hens and the hens lay eggs. The eggs are sold from their homes.
Some farmers raise pigs. Baby pigs are so cute. WE know what pigs are used for.
Farming is big around here. We do have dairy farmers. They milk cows and sell the milk.
Some families raise their own food. Animals. They have vegetable gardens and eat carrots, beets, potatoes, onions, pumpkins, radishes and tomatoes.
Me. I go to Walmart, Mejer and Kroger and buy food.
One farmer has a tire shop so you can buy tires for tractors or cars. There is a repair shop for farm machinery. My husband works on starters for cars, tractors, combines and just about everything. He does good off farm machines, repairing starters and alternators.
This is industry in my town. Thanks for reading.
