Ah, Heaven on Earth. Didn't its ethnically challenged name used to be "Little Black Sambo's". The name changed in the early 70's?!?! They were everywhere once. Most turned into Denny's or the like.

This also brings to mind the fast food joint that had walking talking chicken legs and hot dogs as Mascots, the Red Barn. At least McDonalds went the mile and came up with Fry Guys, Capt'n Crook and Grimis (who looks like what you feel like after a "Happy Meal"). I believe every community in the good ol' USA has a gambrel roofed building that once housed a Red Barn Restaurant. Most were turned into Arby's or another Restaurant. The one in Burlington Vermont is a Gift Shop after a short stint as a strip club (The city outlawed stripping after the club moved in). The Red Barn building in Mountain View, CA. is still there on the corner of Rengstorff? and El Camino.
