Erv Schiffler has been behind the bar for 45 years. He's not positive, but he thinks he may have the oldest liquor license in the state. He and his father kept the bar running all these years while the rest of Main Street St. Anthony disintegrated.
"There used to be a blacksmith. That closed. There used to be a grocery store and a creamery - everything's closed up. Just the bar," says Schiffler.
It's safe to say Schiffler's is important to the town. The street lights stay lit thanks to Erv's liquor license and property taxes.
"We're here all alone. And there are a lot of towns like us," Schiffler says. "I do a lot of driving around and see a lot of towns and all there is is a bar left. Everything else is closed up. The bars seem to survive."

Really, I wonder what kind of a kickback she is getting from the insurance companies.

Because no health care at all is the best way to love and care for people, right Michele?
