Slim's Tavern

Skip (or Skipper) bought Slim's Bar & Grill in 1975 from from the family who opened it in 1909 or 1913, depending on whom you ask. Lind is a wheat town full of wheat people, and Slim's is the only bar, and the only grill. If it happened in Lind, it probably happened at Slim's. If it didn't happen at Slim's, it probably happened at the annual Combine Destruction Derby (2nd weekend in June) or the amateur street races (September). A local favourite The grill part is connected to the bar, which has a separate entrance. The voices of locals carousing and having a good time came bouncing through the joint. It was a good sound. Everybody knows everybody else in this town of 300-or-so people. It feels like home ... not my home, but a home nonetheless. If you're ever passing through southeast Washington state, 13 miles south of Ritzville, make your way to Lind.
