I would at most look at that headline and think there's no rooms downtown + North Shore and South Side. I wouldn't assume furries have fully booked the Jefferson Hills Motel on 51.

For those that don't remember, there's an episode or two on YouTube.

I remember the show ended in the late 90s but was still rerun in the post SNL slot for a couple years.

Special reunion episode of Date Night TV coming soon to Channel 11

A certain computer company that rhymes with Bicrosoft

And we got Joe Biden to thank for this

I do wonder that for Long John Silver's. I used to love their food when I was younger. Now it just tastes like oil, no matter whether I'm eating fish, chicken, fries, or shrimp.

Though so many have closed, maybe it's not my personal taste but everyone's tastes that have moved on.

I feel this any time I try a chain that I have some fond memories of from the 90s. The food is mediocre, the service inadequate, the prices are high.

Hoss's is Hoss'pitality!

Don't forget 2 seasons of "Raising Dad" on the WB and one season of "Surviving Suburbia."

A quick search says that was filmed in Utah. But heart shaped tubs were once quite popular in kitchy motels. There's a really cool YouTube channel called "A Pretty Cool Hotel Tour" that chronicles these "fantasy" suites.

I'm old enough to remember when teachers said this about print encyclopedias. Look at the works cited, don't cite the article.

The IRS just held on to your money interest free? It's a nice surprise but don't do it on purpose.

Dollar stores will go in anywhere. But yeah, most chains are purpose built.

Remember when IC Light ended the sponsorship so it became the Amphitheater at Station Square, the ASS?

I think Stuff That's Gone has segments about Walt Harper's Attic.

They now are open 7a-8p

If eat n park and kings and all the little diners that now close at 3pm can't make it work why would a new business be able to succeed? Sadly these places just aren't surviving.

They were a favorite chain of mine in the 90s/00s. I live away from Pittsburgh and I kinda wish these places still existed now that I have a kid, sometimes you're running errands in the suburbs and it's nice to sit down and eat and these places were always fun for kids. Bathtub sundae and warm cookies.

That's been my experience if I try one of these places again. Service is a mess (usually due to staffing issues), wait times are long, the place isn't clean, the food is more expensive, the quality worse.

Edit: talking more in general about chain casual sit down after COVID, haven't been to M&E since pre 2020.

I wonder, have microbreweries picked up that category? They even exist in the suburbs. Feels like that's where everyone I know goes that's between fast and nice night out.

They've collapsed nationwide. Soon they'll only be in a few airports... And Monroeville.

I remember the WB shows like Dawson's Creek telling you what albums each song came from.

Blackish did a storyline where the main characters separated. It was really raw but just such a heavy turn, even for a show that dealt with the real world often.

Some people really liked it but I hated it. Made me trail off from watching the show because it was such a downer. And it used goddamn Fix You ... In 2018!
