Downtown Dave’s Thought(s) For The Week
Well the 2024 season in coming to a close this weekend. It is hard to believe that the season is over. This has been an awesome year at Put in Bay. The weather was really fantastic and the people on the island had a great time. As I have said many times the island is not just about the many great entertainment venues. There are a lot more things to do on Put in Bay. Just like today. I just got back from a walk through one of our many parks and enjoyed all of the fall colors. What is special about the island is all of the great people that you will be everytime you come up. Some of the people that you meet will become lifetime friends. Put in Bay is very unique because you take a few mile boat ride and it seems like you are in another world. You can leave the stress of everyday life behind and relax.
Some people will say that Put in Bay is getting expensive? Well I actually think it is a relatively inexpensive getaway that for many is close to home. I just spent 4 days in Cleveland and trust me the price of hotels and beers are crazy. Also a place like Nashville is not cheap. Most places you pay $10 for a can of beer versus around $6 here. Hotels are crazy expensive also. For those that have been to Key West prices are almost double on lodging. So where can you drive just a few hours from home but when you get here you feel like you are far away.
The island has an awesome list of events already planned for 2025. My suggestion for everybody is to plan for next summer now.Do not get shut out from seeing your favorite bands or visiting your favorite establishment. I know that at Ashley’s Island House we already have 6 weekends sold out for 2025.
I want to Thank everybody that during the year has come up and thanked me for doing Downtown Dave. Trust me I enjoy sharing my thoughts with everybody and letting them know what is happening. I might expand the band’s listings a bit to include the type of music played along with mini reviews. Now I will do my best to cover every place and band. We will still do a featured bar every week but I might do some interviews with a few bands to make things more personal.
Look for the next Downtown Dave post sometime in April. I think you can still find some lodging open at fall prices for this weekend. Don’t forget this is our annual Halloween weekend party at every bar.
