4/21/2009 12:21:04 AM

^and pay someone to make it

4/21/2009 12:26:44 AM

Maybe if they made fresh baked cereal or something.

4/21/2009 12:30:33 AM

Or if they would sell "just marshmallows" cereal.

Is that the one that used to be on Westcheter, across from Price's Nursery?

What a nasty place that was

4/21/2009 4:16:31 PM

The only one I remember was on Main st. A whole bunch of places tried to open up in that drive-thru only place and they all failed. it was a Chinese restaurant at one point.

4/21/2009 4:23:43 PM

^ yeah, nasty chinese. That was after i left for college though i think.

Oh man, I grew up on Sally's Hot dogs.

2 for $1

My neighborhood friends and I used to bike up there in the summers and get hot dogs. Thems was the days.

high point is the armpit of north carolina

4/21/2009 4:35:47 PM

Worse than Fuquay from 20 years ago?

4/21/2009 5:13:44 PM

I WIN, NIGGORS

Roy Rogers still exists up north. Really though, is it any different than Arby's? Not that I can tell.

My dad was the assistant manager/co-manager of the Best Products behind Sally's for a number of years in the late 80's/early 90's, so I remember Sally's well.

Miami Scrubs...

I know they still exist, but not in the same quantity that they used to.

4/21/2009 6:37:47 PM

there's still a few Roy Rogers (as well as Bob's Big Boy) in the service plazas along the NY State Thruway, but it's cafeteria-style where all the food is pre-cooked and put under heat lamps, so it sucks.

i haven't seen a stand-alone Roy Rogers restaurant since the mid 1990's.

4/21/2009 6:42:49 PM

it was always weird to me how there were certain spots that no matter what went there, they always fail (and yes i know about babu).

4/21/2009 7:35:18 PM

I ate at a Roy Roger's in New Jersey on the way to see a friend in NYC.

I'm pretty sure I saw Bob's Big Boy as well.

I wish I could say Gumby's but somehow it lives on.

On Hike Night in, I think it was '05? My best friend threw up in Bowls because he decided to take a break w/ their shitty cereals and it just didn't mix well taste-wise.

What was the place that used to be where Sakura Express is now? Sakura is pretty horrible itself but I remember the place that was there before being very mediocre as well.

Oh, and I got food poisoning at Spinnaker's in Cary around 10 years ago.

It was a club called Colorado's back about 10 years ago, but if there was something in between Colorado's and Sakura, I don't remember what. That building sat vacant for a long time, as did the one next door (which was a Hardee's long ago before becoming Zaxby's).

tokyo express is the SHIT. otherwise, high point sucks ass. i grew up there. literally, the ONLY bars are the ones at the restaurants (ham's, chili's, liberty). however, there is a rather nice joint called THE CLADDAUGH over by sonic/IHOP that we frequent for some dewar's and coffee.

I ate at a standalone roy rogers last time I was up in leesville VA, yes they are different from Arbys. The roast beef tastes totally different, and they have pretty good fried chicken. I think most people remember them from after they were bought out and the new owners tried to basically make them into hardees/arbys. The "new" owners (some of the original franchisees) of the chain have gone back to the way it used to be, which I loved.

last time I ate at a big boy was like 93 when I was skiing in Lake Tahoe

wasn't hot n now the place that had burgers for a quarter or something insanely cheap like that?
