Where the Starbucks now sits downtown, there was a place called Yudy’s. Best chicken philly and curly fries. I miss that place.

Cuz..you got it right The old Shrimp Boat at the top of Baxter Hill used to be a student’s heaven back in the 70’s. A place where you could get a great fish or chicken lunch for under $3..and they would take a check..for any amt. I wrote quite a few $4 checks there on the float back in the day. They used to post the returned bad checks on a bulletin board behind the counter..I saw some friend’s checks there more than once. Then on Tuesday night (or was it Thursday?), you could slip down to Papa Joes for cheap beer..used to be something like 25 c a cup for beer. you couldnt get in the place. The beer store across the street (next to Brumby) used to sell a gallon of beer on tap for $1.00..the only requirement was that you had to bring your own gallon jug. No Problem. Ah those were the days..except for way too much Krystal at 3 am.

The greatest place in Athens was the old Dog House across from the Holiday Inn.Ice cold beer and a jukebox full of Led Zepplin.When it burnt down I almost cried.Bob’s Steverinos was good for cold beer,subs and fooseball.Poss’s king crown special was the best for after a football game.Charlie Williams also great.Is it still there?The old B and L warehouse you to cook up some great food for lunch.I miss them all and can’t wait to get back over to Athen’s this fall.LET THE BIG DAWG EAT/

Steverinos if you were thirsty for an adult beverage was the biz-omb back in the day and son’s next door had edibles.
