I had White Castle once….I would only go again if I had a colonoscopy planned, and the regular prep meds weren’t available

Yikes!

One chain around here that I've never tried is Popeye's.  I think known for their fried chicken.

I do very rarely indulge in a sausage/egg/cheese biscuit from McDonald's.

During the pandemic, they offered breakfast all day, but I think that has gone the way of the dodo bird.

You could use that photo for any page turn 5 and above, since there are probably more doggies hiding in that pile of leaves.

This modern staircase may be a designer's dream, but it looks pretty treacherous to me.

DR Chas Orange Julius.  When I think of Orange Julius today I am not impressed.  When I think of it from my childhood, charming and delicious.

I only had it had two locations.  My mother and I would stop at the drug store counter, sit at the counter and have an Orange Julius along with a sandwich or hot dog.

Later I would get them at Stan's, who made them extra special.  If I also got a hot dog then I would sit at the counter to eat, otherwise it was either sit to drink & chat with Stan or get it to go.

I liked Arthur Treacher’s but those are all gone (again).
Captain D’s and Long John Silvers. The latter still has a few, I think.
