The restaurant is gone too. I think there's a Culvers in that location now. Or a gas station. The area has turned into a shopping, fast food, gas'n'go strip because there's an outlet mall on the other side of the interstate. It's good to see the area bustling, but I wish the Gobbler and it's restaurant could have survived.
Driving past the Gobbler every time we wanted to go to Madison or the Dells or head Up North for Mr. Skatie's family reunion was a nice "heh, lookit that silly building" moment. I was pretty sad it got razed, though I understand why it happened. We took the time to drive up to it and do a circuit through the parking lot a couple of years before it was razed. It looked pretty darn rough when you got up close, the owner's weren't really maintaining it by that point. Sad.
