How come Mugshots didn’t last too long after Champps closed? I see them all over Alabama and Mississippi and seem to be going strong.


Because it was terrible. I lived about 100 yards from the original on 4th street in Hattiesburg and I swear to god there isn’t a better burger on earth. The one in br was really disappointing, I hyped it up to my friends and they thought I was an idiot

I’m actually kind of sad about Times. When I lived in BR, I had several buddies that lived right around there in those apartments and that was our meeting/pregame spot. Had some good times there.

Damn it closed? I loved it when it was on Chimes. Eventually it moved over by Tigerland I think. The
Food was awesome.

Yeah, they did. You can see it from I-59, right next to a couple hotels.

What timeframe was the real superstore open? I feel like it's been a vacant building my whole life.

Not a restaurant but Sports Unlimited in BR.

That place was absolute heaven for 12 year old me. That long wall of MLB hats in the back was amazing.

Butler's in NOLA. A living room with an Atari? Wtf??? How are they not franchised?


i miss Butler's. They had an old beer (it's natty--i thought it was something more esoteric) ad with a couple playing backgammon who looks like my ex-gf and me (we used to play backgammon all the time). I don't really look anything like that guy, but the girl is very similar to ex (at least when everyone is drunk in Butler's).

Probably until the late 80s or maybe early 90s. I went shopping there with my mom all the time as a kid
