Unintended consequences abound in life. Such a consequence could explain why Nunda, five miles south of Sinai and even smaller, has a place to eat while Sinai doesn’t. Driving the road from Sinai to Nunda is straight except for the correction curve at the county line. Sinai is in Brookings County and Nunda in Lake County and that explains a lot.
In my childhood Brookings was “dry” except for a municipal liquor store in the little town of Aurora, east of Brookings. Beer sales were allowed in Brookings County but only 3.2% beer could be sold. In the 50s the Sinai Cafe, now long gone, sold 3.2 beer.
Lake county, on the other hand, permitted liquor sales. As long as I can remember Nunda has had a bar. That bar serves food so food service is available in the smaller town. Had Brookings County and Sinai not been dry perhaps there would be a bar here serving food.
The lunch special Thursdays in Nunda is fried chicken, which is very popular. When I ordered the special at 11:50am today I was told that I got the last serving. It includes two pieces of chicken, choose white or dark meat, mashed potatoes, gravy, a bun, vegetables and dessert. It’s real comfort food! Price? $7.50. Yes, life is good!
