Bishop's Restaurant Marina

  Does the wrecking ball await Bishop's Restaurant and Bar?  
  
  First it claimed the condos, then the motel, then (gasp!!) the giant old boathouse (A lot of history went with that sadly).
  
  I really have no idea what the current ownership group has in mind unless it is to create a giant parking lot for the boat ramp.
  
  But my mind wanders back to the day when Bishop's was the one dive bar on the lake that was accessible by boat.  A place that was frequented by boaters that kept their craft held together with duct tape and prayer.  A place not filled with frat boys like some of it's brethren on Luby Bay.  A place that would serve you a pitcher of MacNaughton's and Coke without even blinking.  A place that I found a summer girlfriend working behind the bar (Until I caught her spreading more than good cheer later that same summer).  A place where the cook sold more pot than the restaurant served food.
  
  So I raise my glass to what was...  and I offer up a prayer to what may be.
