At Rowe Pottery Works, we finally did score a hefty jug-like pot at a perfect price in the store's back area called Pottery Seconds. The lack of nightlife in Cambridge is refreshing. There are a handful of bars to wander into, and they abound with friendly locals. The Spa Tavern had us drinking gin and tonics for next to nothing and playing the Shake of the Day, a version of Yahtzee. For a buck, you get three chances to roll five of the same number of the day.
Winner takes home whatever's in the pot.
Nope, but we did walk away with an even better one. Cambridge is about 130 miles north of Chicago. Take Interstate Highway 90 West to Exit 160 at Edgerton. Then take Wisconsin Highway 73 north to U.S. Highway 12 and go east to Cambridge. Locals love the chicken pot pies and the enormous beef and onion-filled pasties.
