Big Daddy's, I think. Studebakers was up the road where Olive Garden is now.

It's in our family lore because my younger brother who thought he was Mr. Cool hung out there back in the day wearing Hai Karate cologne and Nik Nik shirts...thought he was picking up a one night stand one evening...forty three years later...four grandkids.

Saaaaatisfaction.....it came in a chain reaaaaction.....Beating that clock like a drum on Thursday nights. So I've been told by some dear friends. For a good unhealthy alternative, Fred's and their 3 for 1 drinks was good, too. Don't take me to a Disco!

I'm sorry. When you said family lore I thought you said family loin.... My Bad.
Hai Karate, Vitalis, gold chains, and male perms were the lady killers (chicks and cougars) of the day. Speaking for a friend, of course. The Starsky and Bunch wheels helped woo the ladies as well..... And there was a lot of wooing going on those days... But it would always eventually end in heartbreak!
