Shoot five for five nostalgiaBenson Motors
Hey, I did that. We were sitting in my parents seats because they couldn’t be at the game. Either one of them couldn’t have done worse than me. But hey, I still have the T-shirt.Shoot five for five nostalgia
I Googled it - it's still there. I met my wife at Cy's Roost 37 years ago yesterday.
A little surprised nobody has mentioned Winston’ & Tazzles? $0.25 draws on Wednesday’s, $1 pitchers on Thursdays and free beer from 7 to 10 on Fridays and Saturday’s. And for some stretches, Ms Pac-Man and the revolutionary NBA jam. A dump, but it was OUR dump in the early 90’s. Also a Boone movie theatre had $1 or $2 new release movies. There was a Chinese place next to the old Qwik Shop (where I met my wife) that was excellent, across the street from Taco Bell, errrrr Dunkin Donuts.
Why do I feel like the University has doubled in students in the last 30, 40 years and the number of bars has halved?
Probably because it has. 21 drinking age hasn't been a friend of Welch Ave from the old days.
2 year resident of 535 Welch (the last house on the corner) circa 2002-04.Underage kids still know the house party sites. I can still recite the 2-3 places we went to on any given weekend for a kegger. Campus Ave, Knapp Ave, Tail end of Welch always had places to go.
IIRC 501 Welch was always our connection to drinking as a fresh/soph. No clue who lived there.

I believe that was the old Battles location.Dunno how to search but did anyone mention Lucky's pizza yet? Weirdest place - it was half video store half take out pizza place. Not great but for $5 you got a personal cheese pizza and breadsticks. Great for late night
The video revolution, where you could fill up your car with gas, walk inside and rent a movie and a player if needed. If it was Casey's you could get a pizza as well.Dunno how to search but did anyone mention Lucky's pizza yet? Weirdest place - it was half video store half take out pizza place.

They had a couple sawed off pool sticks you had to use for certain shots because the table was so close to the wall.
