Thank you so much to our community for supporting us over the years and especially this past month, and all the offers of help with whatever we needed. Reading and being told so many times how Whistlestop is so much more than 'just a bar' brought tears to our eyes, because that is exactly what it was always meant to be: friendship, family, and companionship, support, kind words, hugs, and sometimes a little tough love - during the good times, and the bad, for everyone.
"We went there for everything we needed. We went there when thirsty, of course, and when hungry, and when dead tired. We went there when happy, to celebrate, and when sad, to sulk. We went there after weddings and funerals, for something to settle our nerves, and always for a shot of courage just before. We went there when we didn't know what we needed, hoping someone might tell us. We went there when looking for love, or s*x, or trouble, or for someone who had gone missing, because sooner or later everyone turned up there. Most of all we went there when we needed to be found."
