It was Ground Round that was in the WalMart plaza and you are absolutely right, Ponderosa was near the McDonalds.

I don’t remember it being near the McDonalds. I remember that being a Weathervane. And a few other things, but not a Ponderosa. I’m not a native though, so I’d have to doublecheck with my husband (who will say “What? We went where? We used to go out to eat?”)

That’s like going to the future and not bringing back a sports almanac.

Let’s call the timeline on BFC’s 30+ years.

No extra charge for the lockjaw. Wasn’t that on Wolf Rd?

I’d never even heard of it.

(I’m not trying to make you feel old, I’m just curious. Old man.)
