I'm not sure how well F and E is doing here. I know some planned stores have not opened, but I don't think any that did open have closed.

They went in and built the store, then didn't open.

Bob's big boy is still around. They only changed their name a long time to Jb's. I miss going to them, they do not have them in Las Vegas.

JB's have dropped like flies, too....there are still some left, though. http://www.jbsfamily.com/locations.php (broken link)

Maybe I'll go have some strawberry pie!

I miss Bob's Big Boy in Phoenix, especially their double decker burgers. I was a fry cook there in 1968 and later switched to janitor for the higher pay. I'm sure I took the burgers for granted at the time, but I sure miss them now!
