I can't remember the ice-cream pallor that was at the corner of Sherwood Forest and I-12. It the shopping center that was behind Burger King and once had a sporting good store in that strip mall. I think it was Fountain something. Had my first real milk shake at that place in the early 80's.

Loved me some Rax roastbeef off of S.Sherwood Forest in 1988. Enjoyed BurgerTime too. Those were the days where I ate like crap but stayed very thin. Can't do that now...lol.

Pancho's on Nicholson in the ealry 70s. We used to walk there from the Stadium dorms because we were poor, and then walked back to relieve the pain of overstuffed bellies.

Well Calvin Lindsley grew up back there.


Calvin is a friend of the family. It's rare when someone sticks with the same place their entire life. He has always seemed to enjoy the grocery life. Piggy Wiggly IGA was my first job, too. Me and Dwayne Granier worked there, as did my sister. My mom still shops at Calvin's daily.
