    I believe that was called Rubys. If the parking lot was too full at Arts Steak House ( it was where the massage school is now) we would keep driving south.

    I do. The statue out front always caught my eye. Going out to eat was a rare treat and we never went there. The allure of the unknown.

    I was a child but I remember sitting inside Frischs watching the “hippies” walking by protesting the Vietnamese war.

    You can’t be a more picky eater than me! It’s just not possible. Example: I have to have any steak, burger well done - the horror! I was raised on great, traditional Southern food.

    Heck I remember when Brasington and Shaw & Keeter were opposite each other down on far East University. Almost to Palatka, it seemed to us NW siders.

    I remember Manero's on the east side. There was another Italian place on 441 south of the prairie that a boxing motif like maybe the owner was a former boxer. I can't remember the name.

    Dunmore's in Micanopy had pretty good burgers and fried chicken and is long gone. They were about where Blue Highway is now.

    Yes, he can be the guy who has the sign in the background that says "Golden's mother wasn't as good as Ivana!"
