I bet there's a Cracker Barrel though.  Bv)=

Our franchisee did outdoor (patio) even w/heaters in the winter time.
And hung on. He also leased the last Denny's location (before they tore
it down) and installed a Spaghetti Shop franchise. It's still under the
same ownership - but it's now a "Beef O'Brady's" sports bar franchise.

No one ever accused Joe Rupnik of being afraid to "take a shot".  Bv)=

We've still got a Perkins ... which started life in Cincinasty as 
"Perkins Pancake House" (pre-dating IHOP)

I wish we had a Waffle House or a Toddle House. We're forced to make do
with a Memphis based Huddle House.

 DD> ... La Quinta - Spanish for "Motel next to a Denny's"

 SD> I was thinking of the same tagline!

You know what they say about "great minds" (Not talking about us, of
course.)  Bv)=
