My first years of life started on Long Lake not far from Zimmy’s. Zimmy’s was more then just a bar, it was a center place for the community, and a guidepost when telling our friends how to find where we lived. This is such a shock for all of us who grew up in and around Zimmy’s, and there will never be another one like it. FAREWELL Zimmy’s you will be missed but never forgotten.
