Re: Mickey D's

I was there that week it closed (96-ish). The employees said it was because the place was losing money in droves. Maybe that's just what management was telling them...

I don't see how. Mickey D's would be slammed between classes. Full of the young kids who don't appreciate the local businesses.

"Mitch's? No liquor? You've gotta be kidding me. Did he lose his license or something, or do you mean just beer and no hard stuff? I'm guessing the pool table must have been in the back room."

Yeah, just had beer for the longest time.

The pool table was actually in the front room by the windows on the bar side - he took it out and put in an extended bar.

Did anyone ever go to MARS?!?!?!111 (Long Branch now maybe?)

What about the Crest Fest (on Crest Road?)

Yeah the City Limits place has been so many things I can't even remember (Have a Nice Day Cafe!111)

Mars was fun. A buddy of mine checked IDs at the door so I was 19 getting in as a 21 year old.

^^One night I went when it was Banana Joe's at the behest of some girls with us. IT SUCKED! Made me remember why I went to bars instead of "clubs." The only cool thing about that place was that you could leave and walk to Old Bar beneath Charlie Goodnights.

7/25/2005 2:14:22 PM

Haha I remember running promotions for Banana Joes.

How long was that place open? Or Have a Nice Day Cafe?

7/25/2005 2:16:47 PM

I think it was open for close to a year....maybe less.

Milanos Pizza used to be where Farmhouse pizza is. I was addicted to their pizza despite the C rating and the fact he had bums off the street as servers. Think it closed down in 01. They put an inch thick of cheese on pizza, not like all the thin shit served up and down Hillsborough.

how am I the only one thats mentioned Chaos so far? I know other cats bought shit from Chaos...hell my shit is still intact

7/25/2005 4:10:41 PM

crack was def. put into the pizza at Milano's, b/c you would find my ass there every night after bars.

the pizza by the Farmhouse pales in comparison.

MARS was great!
but i thought it sucked so bad at the time, cuz id just moved from ny and was used to NYC clubs.
Now I kind of wish I'd gone more often.

I remember when the movie theater in Mission Valley closed. Then they reopened in the current incarnation, and now sell beer.

7/25/2005 11:26:09 PM

I thought it closed for renovations at first but then when it reopened, I didn't notice any. Has anyone been to Blue Ridge now that it reopened? Did they fix that place up?

7/26/2005 2:17:47 PM

Studio and 5-0

Man, this thread was two months ago. You went all Dr. Frankenstein on this crap.

9/25/2005 10:30:29 PM

i have no idea what that means

9/26/2005 8:43:10 AM

me neither

9/26/2005 1:20:28 PM

place over at goodnights has been lots of stuff. Was "the New Bar" back in the day, I think that was 2 before have a nice day.

I used to like the arcade that was at the electric company mall. (I think it is a tattoo or comics store now). ACC Tavern was fun too. Anyone remember the "wall dances"? man, you used to see more ass than a strip club up there.

Same here. They had good magnets too. I was so disappointed when they went out of business.

I don't remember ever seeing McDonalds empty/light crowd. Maybe they didn't have enough seats for the footprint they were taking up. Maybe the breakfast sales were terrible?

9/28/2005 12:36:05 PM

The McDonalds was always packed..

I just remember AND MISS the Carribou Coffee...

But I now am in love with The Q Shack!!


wow.. I remember MARS... jeez. ages ago.. I'm OLD!

uhh, how about the fact that they serve BEER now????

11/11/2005 12:56:27 AM

I used to love colorados. Except for thier fake ass Kamakazee shots.

I met my fiance at Colorados on St. Patricks day '99.

It just blows my mind that fucking bars cannot stay open on Hillsborough st. I hate downtown bars.

11/11/2005 9:56:28 AM

wasn't it MARZ and not MARS?

11/11/2005 10:18:57 AM

^^Mitch's has been open for a long time.

11/11/2005 10:58:15 PM

there actually used to be CLUBS on Hillsborough? damn...
