Heart O' the Woods
The "Heart
O' the Woods" was located on Hwy 155, outside of St.
Germain. It was originally built by
Frank Zaruba
in the 1930's. He operated it for some years, then his
son, Leon Zaruba,
took over. The tavern was then sold to a fellow who's
last name was Raster. Raster also later owned
Pride of the North Resort
on Little St. Germain. The Heart was later sold to
Frank Grabinski, who operated it for several years. It
was then purchased by Katie Borke and her husband. Her
husband passed away and Katie sold it to
Tom Zimmerman in 1975.
Tom
Zimmerman ran it for a few
years, then sold it to someone else (person unknown),
who eventually sold it to
Tony
"Have I got a deal for you!"
Pulec.
Tony built a thriving business and it was certainly one
of the most popular taverns in the area. He
started "Mexican Night" in the area, which was a big
success. He also purchased a tavern on the Jct of
70 and 51, renaming it "Heart II."
After many years, Tony sold
it to Charles (Chuck) and Beverly Altamore.
The "Heart" eventually
burned down.

Hubba
Hubba
Hubba Hubba was
originally built and operated for many years by
Elwood DeNoyer. The year
it was built is not known. It was long ago, though,
because a photograph of the interior shows a sign that
says the Friday Night Fish Fry was seventy-five cents
(and it wasn't cod).
Jack and Judy
McGregor purchased Hubba Hubba in 1971 and changed the
name to Blink Bonnie, a Scottish name. They added
the addition which can be distinguished on the left half
of the building. The right side is the original
Hubba Hubba building. .Judy built Blink Bonnie into
being the Number #1 steak house in the area. When she
passed away, her son,
Jim McGregor,
took over management of Blink Bonnie and still runs "The
Blink" as it is often called.

Hunter's Log Cabin Resort
Jack
and "Kit" Hunter built Hunter's Log Cabin Resort on the
north shore of Big St. Germain Lake and operated it for
many years. It was one of the first three resorts on
the lake. The other two were
Muskie Inn and Jack Pine
Lodge. It was eventually sold to
Joe
and
Mary Osier and "Bo"
and Laurie Boedecker.
Eventually, Osier bought out Bodecker and it became
known as Osier's Resort. After Osier sold it many years
later, the main building was torn down and a new one
built in its place and renamed "Fibber's." When you are
inside Fibber's, Osier's kitchen was where the current
bar is now. The old bar (Osier's) was to the left,
which is the dining area. |

Hunter
School
Hunter School was
probably built sometime after the
Juve and Jackson Schools.
No one today seems to know exactly where this school was
located. However, its name would indicate that it was
located in the vicinity of Hunter's Log Cabin Resort.
