Do you still have a Linens & Sh**?

No.

But we do have a Moisturizers and More.

Gawd the smell of that place kills me.

If you have not seen: "The Other Guys"...you have missed one of the best comedies of the last decade.

Just ask Dirty Mike and the Boys.

And a differently play on that...

The Other Guys - is that the one with the desk pops? My coworker is constantly asking for me to do that.

This saddens me, more than most of the closures. I saw their show when I was a kid, and though it isn't my cup of tea today, the show was a piece of kitschy Americana that was apparently still well-attended.

This is what we get with the ever-shifting reopening goal posts. We've gone from "two weeks to flatten the curve" to indeterminate, forever uncertainty. But that's been said over and over on many threads.

I was managing a Sizzler (in Lafayette) when they started that whisper commercial back in the 80's. I thought they went out of business at least 15 or 20 years ago.

Sizzler. Now there's a name I haven't heard in years.

Sizzler, ya right, blame it on COVID, When was the last Sizzler located in Indianapolis shuttered, 1998? Me and my late wife ate at the Speedway location in 1986 after we picked up her engagement ring. Used to be our fav place to eat back in the day.

In a similar note, I'm pretty sure every Ponderosa in Indiana has now vanished. I just learned that the one in Goshen folded up in July.

Surely Covid just put the throttle on top of that cruise control, but, sorta sad to see them go all the same.

If I'm not mistaken we have similar careers and just the availability of the equipment to perform a desk pop probably wouldn't be taken too well.

Oddly, past that, I think I could get away with the actual desk popping in the right crowd.

I think there is still one in Anderson.

Nope, Madison, Scottsburg and Vincennes. I've eaten at all 2 of them back in the days of beer delivery around the state. Loved the salad bar there. Bonanza, gosh, the last one I can even remember about was the one my mom used to take us too when we visited relatives ib Bloomington Just east of Walnut on 46.
