RIP

Was not cheap, but was open late before McDonalds was, and before Cookout Even Existed. Damn good fries and Phillys too!

6/2/2014 9:29:12 PM

That meatball sub they had with the seasoned fries was a heart attack waiting to happen, but a delicious one at least.

6/2/2014 9:37:36 PM

Miami subs was the shit

6/2/2014 9:40:14 PM

Which yr did they close? Before 2008? Because I never saw this one b4

ARTHUR TREACHERS FISH N CHIPS

It was Papa Lou's then Greek Fiesta. The guy that owned all the Miami Subs around here dropped the franchises and did other stuff with the restaurants.

The one in Garner on 401 was torn down to make a Biscuitville.

The one on Wake Forest Rd was a Papa Lou's too, its a chicken place now, Mami Nora's

The last one that survived was on New Bern ave but it was renamed "New Bern Subs" with a very similar menu. Not sure if its still open.

6/2/2014 10:19:45 PM

I remember Miami Subs--I don't forget mozzarella sticks. But was there really an Arthur Treacher's?

6/2/2014 10:21:56 PM

There's a Chinese buffet before Sushi 9, Ten Ten.

6/2/2014 10:52:38 PM

There used to be a Maimi Subs on Glenwood by Casa Carbone, but I think it's been a couple of things since then.

Out of Miami Subs, Papa Lou's, and Greek Fiesta, I'll take Greek Fiesta.

going to Cook out to celebrate signing with Tragic Hero records and after virtually every brewery show

watching that 50+ year old woman at the goat put the moves on another unsuspecting 20-something, and inevitably leaving with him. that old broad has been picking up young dick from that place for at least a decade at this point.

And Golden Corral before that IIRC.

6/3/2014 9:17:48 AM

Golden Corral?? You sure?

6/3/2014 9:20:29 AM

It used to just run into boylan heights before they rebuilt the road and added that curvy part by the prison that goes under the trestle. we studied that construction project in a class.

6/3/2014 9:48:27 AM

I wish they would move the prison somewhere else

6/3/2014 10:21:08 AM

Yeah that is prime real estate now. Too expensive of a facility to just waste by moving it to make condos and offices.

probably seems like a good idea at the time

Have you been to the sex toy store often?

i threw-up a gyro lunch platter in the miami subs bathroom

i remember a friend grabbing the cashier's mic and trying to rap to all the 3am customers

That Advance Auto Parts has been there a long time considering I've never been there and seen more than 3 people inside.

I'm also surprised that midway through 2014 that the KMart hasn't closed up shop.

6/3/2014 1:46:02 PM

I often went there with emc

6/3/2014 1:47:08 PM

^^used to go to that AA all the time and it always had a steady stream of customers in the store and wanna be mechanics in the parking lot

6/3/2014 1:51:16 PM

Where's the Hillsbro thread.

I remember walking to what used to be KFC (now Snoopys) to get some fried chicken. That was the last walk-in only KFC I've ever seen.

6/3/2014 3:40:51 PM

the best were KFCs that used to have a buffet. those were the days.

6/3/2014 3:45:46 PM

Oh they changed it to Snoopy's?

6/3/2014 3:49:11 PM

Why would they put a snoopys beside cookout.....

6/3/2014 3:51:11 PM

Line is too long at Cookout?

6/3/2014 3:52:05 PM

Not that Snoopy's on Hillsborough. The other one.

6/3/2014 3:53:04 PM

I'm talking about the Snoopy's closest to Meredith. It used to be a KFC.

6/3/2014 4:04:10 PM

Another KFC? Not the one on Western blvd?

6/3/2014 4:14:57 PM

No way that was a KFC.

6/3/2014 4:37:19 PM

Maybe the one on Western blvd used to be there long time ago?

6/3/2014 4:51:34 PM

the KFC on Western is closed. used to be a KFC/A&W.

one of my favorite memories happened while waiting at the Dan allen/western stop light. Roflpack and I are sitting there, and a station wagon pulls up beside us. in the passenger seat sat a damn golden retriever in a dress. I don't know why, but in the moment it was absolutely hilarious

6/3/2014 5:24:28 PM

I haven't seen Angry at the World Bum aka Ninja Bum aka Method Man aka that ripped homeless dude who dribbles an invisible basketball in at least a year.

6/3/2014 5:31:49 PM

I remember when someone under the influence mowed down a pedestrian with their vehicle

6/3/2014 5:33:33 PM

i was at cookout one night getting a burger by myself around midnight. some drunk girl backed into my parked car and some tuff guy with 5 other bro's in his car wanted to fight ME because of it. i dunno if he was white knighting or what. he pushed me and i sucked it up and turned the other cheek... the girl ended up giving me 50 bucks to fix my hubcap and i didnt have to go to jail for fighting. win/win?

Nostalgia: The dude that would shadow-box by Cook-out/KFC

Favorite memory: Some drunk dude face-planting in the KFC parking lot after making his way down the hill from Cook-Out and jumping from the retaining wall

[Edited on June 3, 2014 at 9:56 PM. Reason : Dear Smath, I'm glad you didn't die in a Cook-Out fight <3]

6/3/2014 9:55:56 PM

No. I'm talking about that snoopys diagonal to Applebee's on hillsborough st. It used to be a carry-out only kfc

6/3/2014 10:05:04 PM

Walking from Sullivan to Blue Ridge Theater via the tunnel off Method

6/3/2014 10:25:03 PM

^^10 yrs ago?

6/3/2014 10:34:00 PM

Why did they remove the KFC near cookout? I miss it.

6/4/2014 7:10:09 AM

No, this was back in '98 when I was a freshman. I think they converted it while I was home for the summer.

6/4/2014 7:23:48 AM

Oh, then it's 16 yrs ago. We are all getting old...

6/4/2014 7:27:58 AM

^^we are old

Very.

Still doesn't seem like that long ago though.

6/4/2014 9:39:53 AM

It is long time ago. Just because time flies. So you don't feel it.
