What the heck, Throwback Thursday! I may scale back the history stories a bit as summer is just around the corner and I'll try and promote a stay at the Blackhawk. However, no worries as I'll be sharing the seasons experiences and I have years of memories to tell from a child to present day. Like the story about the Chief of Police, the Homeless man, the glass eye, the heads pointed the right way, smoking ci******es, the butchered chickens, decoys, Room #50, Leon, The big board, No dishwasher, 2 hours at Fishers, a treat, all the ice you need, indoor plumbing, Bradley Bl....s...., Diesel fuel, red quarters, getting our toe nails clipped, the night audit, Just like your Mother, the lingerie, the gun, basement flood, Santa's making presents, he's still your Father, Room 63, wrote it on a piece of card board, don't worry about it, "I'll throw out your brochures", I sell.."", The Atlanta bypass, "there goes John Wayne", "If you ever wanna sell", Sundays is payday....and many more stories. For now, what the heck, Throw Back Thursday! We all have our families, and then we have our Black Hawk Family! Thank you for your continued years of patronage! To our local friends, thank you for recommending a piece of classic Wisconsin Dells! We're Family owned & operated since 1945. It's not rocket science, we believe in treating our guests as we would want to be treated. At the Blackhawk, you'll almost always find my wife Tena or I on site, avaliable if needed and every guest has my personal cell # available on a welcome letter in every room. It's only a small part of why we are still here...but our former 3rd party marketing manager, who had 40 years experience in the hospitality business, told me about 7 years ago...she said..."Brad, those who know customer service well...always succeed."
