    Sorry Maddawg. Papa John's may be the official sponsor...but I think they use fake cheese. That stuff don't look right to me.

    Hope you enjoy your "real cheese" at Johnny's. I've got the visual of you nibbling on your pizza while secretly reading one of their many copies of TNS.

    Can anybody tell me what a bag of Ruston Blend at Starbucks cost? I wonder if they ship coffee from the Ruston location?

    Re: Ruston Eating Places

    This Thanksgiving, my sister (who happens to be a Tech alumna) brought me a bag of Ruston Blend coffee from the Ruston Starbucks. Attached to the bag was a seal with a depiction of the Dixie Theater on it. The sight of that venue brought back a lot of memories, let me tell you. Back in the late 70's, I attended a number of music performances there, most of them put on by locals. One of the funniest comedians I ever heard was Chris Smith, Dr. Lawrence Smith's son (Dr. Smith was an economics professor at LTU). I think his brother, who got a PhD in Business is now an accounting professor at Texas Tech (I think).

    For his disability, Chris was one of the most talented people I have met. During our accounting classes, he would draw scenes featuring our teachers that would force us to laugh out loud during class. He was truly a unique person.

    So, does anyone have memories of the Dixie they care to share?

    Re: Ruston Eating Places

    while we were in Ruston for Thanksgiving, I made sure we hit Griff's! The last time I had that monsterously-huge cheeseburger was 1999...I did notice that they no longer had fried mushrooms...

    The burger was just as I remembered it, so were the fries. My wife is still mad at me for ordering the tripple...


    Oh, and I got my Johnny's fix in while in town too! My wife loves Johnny's pizza and she's a NYC girl born and raised!

    Re: Ruston Eating Places

    Griff's did (and still does, from what I hear) good cheeseburgers, particularly their double. I always got a healthy (or is it "unhealthy") dose of french fries, and topped it off with a chocolate malt/milk shake. When I was there, the fried mushrooms were a favorite of all the coeds, followed closely by their onion rings.

    BTW, do they still have their 25-cent hamburger special? LOL!!!

    not having very much parking for partons doesn't help...

    Does anyone remember what it was before it was a bakery?
