Our bars are unique micro-communities  offering patrons a sense of belonging. Many of these bars are the only public gathering place in the rural communities they serve. These simple taverns offer the individual the valuable opportunity for face to face conversation and camaraderie  particularly as people become more physically isolated through the accelerated use of the internets social networking  mobile texting  gaming  and the rapid-fire of email. This collection of 60 pictures captures the Wisconsin tavern as it is today. Carl Coreys view is both familiar and undeniably unique  his pictures resonant with anyone who has set foot in a Wisconsin tavern. As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinels Mary Louise Schumacher has written  Carl Coreys photographs . . . document iconic American places that are taken for granted. . . . They are comforting images  places we know  but also eerie and remote  presented with a sense of romance and nostalgia that suggests they are already past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279860916277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0870204785","price":230.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780870204784.jpg?v=1780614267","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tavern-league-portraits-of-wisconsin-bars-9780870204784","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
