This One's for Mary...and Pop

Samantha's Restaurant and "Lounge" is gone. They tore it down last week. The neighboring bank owns the property and I've heard it's going to be medical offices... Just what we need in the most congested intersection in town. 

Anyway, Mary S. spent a college summer working there. And Pop spent countless hours and dollars "lounging" there.

BTW, I love that the sign is still standing.

And it says, "Opening Soon"... like Samantha's is going to resurrect itself. It was an old church, afterall... :)

So long, Sammy!

Sad, sad, sad! It should also be dedicated to Jeff Clarke. Didn't he drive head on into the church? I cried so many times at my customer's tables there. I was, perhaps, the worst waitress they ever saw.

I forgot about Jeff's night of infamy...add him to the dedication! How funny.

You may have been crying because of all the second-hand smoke you were inhaling from the bar downstairs...
