Hey Chickengrease,
I used to live in Brookston, nice little town. If you ever find yourself there on a Friday or Saturday night hankering a steak the fillet at the Top Notch is hard to beat for the money! TC's in Battleground has about the best breaded tenderloin around too if that interests you. Roads are awfully straight between there and Valpo unfortunately. Are you familiar with Springboro/Tyler road East of Brookston on 18? It's one of the better little sets of curves in the area. A buddy and I got out today for a bit, holler if your in the area again and we'll see about getting together.
Cheers
