Today I learned pnw is pacific northwest. =) Also, side quests are a thing and sound fun.
new skill learned: “investigative journalism”
“a beer bar”
Oddly, I feel like you need to specify this in the PNW…
Beer bar, whiskey bar, coffee bar, chocolate bar. There’s a lot of ten guys out there who’d get confused.
Oregon has weird liquor laws. Taprooms that only sell beer and can’t serve spirits are actually pretty common, and they’ll have fancy beers brewed in a room behind the counter. (Most of them like to highlight the existence of the brewery by making it visible to the rest of the room.) People don’t usually call em “beer bars” but that’s exactly what they are.
You can definitely tell it’s a non-native by what they call those places
Also how they pronounce some of the smaller cities
Like Chelatche
Is it: Chee-latt-chai?
Haven’t heard anyone say chelatchie out loud before, but I live in the pnw and I would guess it would be pronounced cheh-latch-ee, which is similar to how “Wenatchee”, a pnw city, is pronounced (not helpful but interesting nonetheless).
Very close, sha-latch-ee
No worries though
It’s a really small place and the closer one lives to it the more likely I’ve seen people be able to get it
Spokane is a fun one to hear people say though when they’re from a few states away
As opposed to a whisky bar maybe?
Beer bars (sometimes called taverns or pubs) are legally restricted to selling only beer, and possibly wine or cider. Liquor bars, also simply called bars, also sell hard liquor.
I’m from the PNW and I read this thinking “mmhmm yep I could see how that could happen.”
Yeah, the west coast can get brutal.
E.G. I know a park that has a standing rule that all visitors hiking north (aka up until the wild) should sign in and out, and that search and rescue will be called on any cars left in the parking lot at night.
Not the police. Search and rescue.
Because if you go off the trails you can literally walk off a cliff because the underbrush is so thick.
