Round the Corner for burgers - could telephone your order in from the table.

Phil's Oyster bar - where all the TV crews used to go the Thursday night before televised games. I guess they liked to go "local".

I hope they still sell K&B beer and vodka.


You wish! Actually, Thursday's Morning Advocate
had an article on this opening. The owner of the
Village Pharmacy and another pharmacist are the
owners...

you can still get fast track. I believe the only one in existence (according to their workers) is in a gas station next to the Motiva plant. The burgers, fries, cups, everything is the exact same. Except now they also serve fried chicken.

Funny story about Europe's on Airline. Last time I went there (15 yres ago atleast) the waiter was so loaded he was out of control. He'd come out of the back with a tray of food or drinks with no control....food and drinks flying everywhere, seriously flying off that tray, great time and the food when we got it was really really good

Good call, Jax. I liked both of those places. Round the Corner brings back memories.

Remember the Dragon Hall Cafeteria?
