My Town: Places I like to unwind after a busy day of covering sports
In the nearly three years I've lived in the Lake Geneva area, I've found a number of local spots that I like to eat, explore and relax when the day's sports are done.
Badger High football field
While I enjoy covering all the various sports in the area, it's tough to beat the energy and atmosphere of a Friday night football game under the lights, especially when a major rival team rolls into town.
Geneva Theater
Ever since I was a kid, I've been a movie buff, so I've spent many afternoons and evenings in the Geneva Theater checking out the newest films, no matter the genre, whether it's an indie Oscar-bait drama or a new Marvel or Star Wars blockbuster.
Gordy's
I'm usually out and about covering a game on Friday nights, but when I occasionally have a wide-open Friday evening, I try to stop by Gordy's in Fontana for their fish fry, which I personally think is the best in the area.
George Williams College rocking chairs
On the campus of George Williams College in Williams Bay, there is a lakefront porch with rocking chairs that is the perfect place to spend a summer afternoon reading a book, watching the waves roll in, and enjoying the sunny weather.
Lake Shore Path
The Geneva Lake shore path is a gem of the area, and spending a few hours walking on the path is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the lake's natural beauty during the warm-weather months.
Flat Iron Tap
With a diverse selection of beers on tap and a unique menu, including bison and lamb burgers, I like to stop by Flat Iron Tap in Lake Geneva for a bit fancier take on the American classic dinner of burger, fries and beer.
