Getting Hot!!! Cold, yummy, Soda Fountain creations are on my mind. What were you favorite ones and from which establishment(s) were they from? Also, does anyone...

Mom says she worked at a Grove at 5 th & Main, too. Not in Hotel Sherley, not sure where it was; in the WD Bldg??? There were 5 Grove Drugstore back in the day, Central Blk, 5 th & Main, 24 th & Grand (was Dundee Drug), midtown, and somewhere??? on the southside. She doesn't recognize these soda fountains / luncheonettes, either.

The Whitman Drug soda fountain is now located here and I highly recommend the chocolate malts and banana splits. Popcorn of all flavors is located next door.

Giraffasaurus Rex we went to Jess' on a Tuesday (off day in my mind) at 6:15 ( again, towards the end of dinner rush) and the tap was out of beer they let us order apps. But when it came time to order food they were out of both chicken AND brisket...... I do enjoy Jade but DAM you can only go there so many times so often......

Rosebud Cafe

Giraffasaurus Rex lets just say the two times I went to Jess' the atmosphere is cool the sauce is great and the fries are fries. I have also had "outside" interactions with people that have or do work there and a lot makes sense. That is all I will say about that... I would love to see a bus load of seniors or clowns or football players or anybody really come into our amazing little town!!!!

The Creative's Cork is pretty damn good. Jess Best BBQ is also really good. Jade Cafe has chinese food that could hold its own with the ones in New York and San Francisco.
I would like to know what kind of restaurant people would like to see here and would you be willing to drive to Florence, Penrose area if it was worth it? Family style,...
Really wanna get Corey in his own restaurant, I think we could be very successful and we definately need a good family restaurant here! So who has had Corey's cooking...

See if the guy that owns the building from that Mexican restaurant will work with you. I think Steve Stewart still owns building. Worst he could do is say no.
