Tuesday afternoon greetings! Left here about 10:30am to do errands before my lunch meeting with Genevieve, the young woman who replaced me at the library. I then did some shopping for Mom and delivered said shopping to her. Helped her write some checks and read some mail. I am home and worn out!

DR ChasSmith, Michigan has Elias Brothers Big Boy, but everybody calls the restaurants "Big Boy's."

There are still a few Orange Juilus' in some of the malls around here. But I can tell you that they are nothing like the original.

The DD is not feeling well today. Probably something he picked up in a walk and ingested quicker than I could stop him. I'm sure it will pass soon.

Yes, I tried one of those a year or two ago, and it was a complete waste. Nothing at all like the original drink.

DR Ryacko my children went to Richboro Elementary which is no longer there. Richboro & Ivland, at least the side we lived on, are kind of in-between Newtown & Doylestown.

The parent's of many of my children's classmates had been students at the school from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade.

RE the 2008 closing of "my" Bob's Big Boy:

"The Wilshire Blvd location, built in 1972 by Armet & Davis, is one of the last of the Chula Vista ranch style survivors that were all over Southern California..."

BTW, I loved Orange Julius (yes, it's in the first Kritzer book) - mine was located at Pico and Robertson on the southwest corner. It was actually inside a drug store, but had an open part that looked out onto Robertson so you could order from there and eat outside on a stool.

My mother and I would go here and sit inside for ours.

A question for BK or perhaps DRs Jane or Druxy (with apologies if I've asked this one before)...

Do you remember where one would have gotten an authentic Orange Julius in Hollywood? I keep thinking there was a stand (or storefront?) on the Blvd., but haven't found evidence to support that.

I do remember one in B.H., an actual storefront in the front of the building (like Bank of America or some such) at Wilshire and Beverly Drive. Boy, you'd never find anything like that there now.

I was never a fan or Orange Julius. I think I tried it once, but the magic never happened.

The best were from Stan's Donuts when the outside window was an Orange Julius stand. I talked to him a few years back and asked why his were so much better than elsewhere. He used more of the Julius powder than anywhere else.

Well, there you go. If they didn't have that flavor and texture, they weren't much of a Julius.

The contemporary one I tried at the mall? That one not only didn't have the flavor and texture, I'm not sure it ever saw an orange.

Seriously. I had to wonder what people today think they're getting, or what they even expect it to be.

"Just some orange drink", most likely.

I believe I have mentioned this before..... Put ice & orange juice in a blender. Add vanilla ice cream and vanilla. Blend. The ice is optional

They were just like a traditional Julius only more flavorful. Hey, maybe he used better orange juice, but they were definitely an official Orange Julius.
