This classic BR brand should be revitalized.

Probable location.
Move it to Siegen and it might have survived.

Fourth.

It was a place in the 50s \ 60s in BR before two iterations in the 80s and 90s (Florida Blvd by Bon Marche, Drusilla shopping center).

Hoppers was a hit because it was a drive around meet up spot back in the 50’s/60’s. The food never was very spectacular or noteworthy. We can do better. Not sure if we aspire to anything greater, but we can do better.

In Cortana? Yeah, I forgot that. Was that across from Space Port near Dillard’s / Maison Blanche?

I remember the one in Drusilla. Even saw Ronnie putting flyers under car windshield wipers in the parking lot once. Seemed kind of sad.

Was in the same location as Chelsea (spelling?) Street Pub when the mall opened, ~1976. Seems like the entrance between Goudchaux's/Maison Blanche and JC Penny.

Sonic muscled them out.

You don’t go toe to toe with Sonic Corporate and come out clean.
