The rough and tumbling Wiley Steer, or so it would be if gravity lost it's say! Good thing it doesn't have too much of a say, though, or the place might cave in! Who knows what goes on within "the Steer's" dark interior. The place ain't church, that's for sure. For one, they serve a lot more alcohol and for two, there's no stained glass. Also, they have a juke box- which lends itself more to dancing than to praising the lord's name. Whatever. People come, nonetheless, from out the fields, from who knows where, to enjoy the stern laissez-faire atmosphere only the Wiley Steer provides.
Matt Deere is a jolly fellow, always seen a smile on his face and heard with laughter booming from his heart. For the most part Matt runs a pretty loose ship; so long as the patrons don't trash the place and pay their tabs, fun may be had by all.
Karen Deere, wife of Matt Deere, is one of the town beauties. She doesn't rest gently upon her good looks however, oh no. She's always busy busy busy! If not mixing special drinks (thereby keeping the community together) she's often having a good time with the patrons or helping out around the bar. She smokes cigarettes and does not go to church.
Butterum Rhodes is both the head bartender and server at The Wiley Steer. Not only is she, thus, one of the few women in Brody to have a full time job, she's also at "The Steer" every night. She's a fun, tough-talking type who the regulars know not hassle... too much. She goes to church only occasionally, kids in tow.
