LOVED Cleopatra’s Barge! Some friends of mine played there for a while & I thought they had the greatest gig 😁 I’m sad it’s gone.
Along the same lines as a loud bar where everyone & everything is probably slightly sticky, I also miss Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor. A free ice cream sundae on my birthday AND the old timey looking clerks wearing striped shirts and straw hats would come out and sing an obnoxiously loud birthday song? Sign me up. They also had bulk candy for sale, a huge self-playing piano that added nicely to the constant concert level cacophony of sound, & best of all? A loud ass siren & drums would go off to announce someone's birthday & if you were lucky, it scared the ever loving shit out of one of your parents & you got to live off that story for at least a week of recess 🤣 I think the subtlest thing in there was the challenge with the pig trough that had a hundred scoops of ice cream and if a group ate the whole thing, it was free. Good times, good times.
Pizza Hut amen! My childhood Pizza Hut had a tabletop Ms. PacMan that sometimes my mom would give me some quarters to play. Bliss.
"gewse bewbs" HAHAHAHA
This was the greatest.
