The Landing

[HotMop]

I would swear on a stack of Bibles that Danvers was where we use to get cheap pitchers of beer on early Thursday nights. If it wasn't Danvers, it was some place like that right about where Starbucks is on HWY 12 just off campus.

People loved the original Grill's cheese sticks, but the cheese sticks at Flo's were a legit 2" thick. They had bbq. I remember it being fine.

But the best time to be at Flo's was a spring Saturday afternoon when we were playing an away baseball game. They'd have the dulcet tones of Jim Ellis on the radio, open doors creating a slight breeze through the restaurant, cold longnecks, and Gerald (RIP) asleep at the bar. It really didn't get much better.

Waitress: Sir, would you like a 1 pound block of cheese to eat with your pitcher of beer.

Me: 17 no you ignorant slut.

Waitress: How about if we cut it into 4 pieces, dip it in eggs, then flour, then fry it in 3 month old grease?

Me: Sign me up you beautiful princess.

Is the Grill in the building that use to be the District Cafe in the Cotton District?

No, Uno Mas Tacos is in that building. The Grill is in part of the old Borden's Milk Plant where the old railroad crosses Montgomery St

Im pretty sure Danvers did not have draft beer.
I think you’re thinking of JC Garcia’s on 12 - closer to the old Pizza Hut

Makes sense... it was the most exciting place in town (TM)

Reading posts on this thread makes realize how much has changed since i was in school. we had to drive 82 about 12 miles to the crossroads to get a beer. Joints were Crossroads, Echols and Len Lews. If I remember correctly the joint across from Len Lews was a black joint. The Southernaire and Straight Eight were famous then too.

Was Echols the building that later became Doug's? That would be just south of crossroads on the right as you're headed south?

That's funny, Gerald used to sleep at Cheers and other places too! (RIP legend)

My poor arse loved the $5 and two drink token buffet at Cheers

And after the Landing closed at 1a.m., it was time to head to Macks Supper Club in Crawford. Mack wold sing about your girl behind some chicken wire.

Saw a few longnecks thrown and busted against that chicken wire. Totally irresponsible but don't know or remember how we made it home safely after finishing up at Mac's

That doesn't ring a bell.

That doesn't ring a bell either.

My Dad used to tell us stories about The Southernaire and fights people would get into with DD Lewis. Never ended well for them and DD would sit back down to finish his beer
