Watching game from Johnson City

[Power T-Rev]

Don't forget Quarterbacks, Richard A's, or The Sophisticated Otter and Gatsbys was pretty cool.

Sophisticated otter is out of business isn't it?

Try Yeehaw brewery and white duck tacos, great beer and big TVs too!

I endorse this message

No it was during the afternoon, there was hardly anyone in the joint.

Middle of the Day? Oh, that's prime time viewing time.

 

[Jackcrevol]

That's a good list though I still haven't been to Phils. I always liked Skobys BBQ as well.

Skoby's = GOAT Restaurant.

Someone told me Pal just bought a 7 figure car. Seems he was loading up while rest of us were scratching and clawing.

Pal is in a wheelchair and I doubt he drives anywhere, his son probably bought the car.
Skobys was the first job I ever had.
Remember Dobbins-Taylor?

D-T was a huge store that had everything from fine jewelry to lumber.
I don't see them any more since I moved to Knoxville, what kind of car was it?

Yep, remember Dobbins-Taylor. Skobys was my first job also. Worked there in the early 80’s

Funny you mention the place a friend of mine owns it. He is there pretty much everyday. Good food for a little hole in the wall.

Patrick? I remember when he owned the Lynn Garden pal's and came to my elementary school to talk to our class lol.

 

[ffemtp]

My uncle bartended at QB's LOL.

Here's one for ya! TC's Tennessee Coast...Grady's...Bonefish.

Wow, that brings back memories, worked at TC’s for a while

Pal wont be with us much longer I'm afraid. Hes in a wheelchair on oxygen. I do know for a fact he donated his plane to Niswonger

I grew up less than 3 miles from the one Colonial Heights. I am so old I remember them building I-81 through Colonial Heights as well.

I grew up in Colonial Heights as well. 81 getting built was before my time though. Did you go to South or Central?

Take a guess. Wild guess; starts with F ends with errari. No big deal i guess anymore. Some of those guys have done well.

That's him, I've known him since we were little kids. Great guy.

 

[ffemtp]

Don't feel old, I remember when the only Pal's were walk in only and the Fort Henry mall being built.

Same here, can also remember when Ft Henry Dr was 2 lanes going through Colonial Heights.

I worked there from 85 to 87. Did you ever happen to go to one their birthday parties at the AFG cabin on Boone lake, that was a great time even at 16 years old.

I live on Hemlock Road!

 

[ffemtp]

I don't really consider Bluff City to be part of the Tri-Cities, but it is my favorite BBQ. Ridgewood>Firehouse>Phil's Dream Pit>Braeden's/Southern Craft>Pratt's would probably be my list for the area.

Good list. I would say Phil’s, Pratt’s, Braedens, Ridgewood are top 4

I can barely remember the 2 lanes through CH, I do remember McDonald's being the only fast food place and then they built a Burger King right down the hill.

I worked there from 81-84 or 85...getting old, can’t remember, lol. Yep went to several Skobys parties at AFG cabin. Yes they were great times for a teenager. Pal did know how to throw a party
