Rally burger was in the parking lot facing Highland in 90. SuperFresh by Paradise. Man what a shitty grocery store. Mr Gattis was the Sunday lunch life saver. Kinkos next to Louie’s I believe.



these were on the other side of the street. Louis, fedex/kinkos and mcdonalds.

How that place has survived is beyond me. I remember them having cheese fries where they dropped these little pellets of "cheese" on top that did not melt.



Because it is delicious!

would go there on Friday after classes


Not sure if it was just me, but I always seemed to have a class at 2:30 on a Friday and felt like I was the last person on campus. Like I missing the party and action as campus kind of had a strange feeling late on a Friday.

Kadairs was in the strip at one point. They had a great record section, not as good as Paradise.

There was a health club out there, I think Fitness Connection.

My oldest brother worked there in the 80's.
