Sad to hear. It reminds me of the time I was visiting a friend in Florida.
We drove to West Palm Beach. I took him to an Indian restaurant that I was
familiar with. He took one look at the building and said it used to be a
Lums.

I just saw one yesterday out towards Tacoma! I can't say for sure what city
we were in at the time when we drove past it but it was out that way/ I was
astounded as I thought they all had closed.

They come, they go. Chipotle is the new kid on the block.

Maybe it would still be around if they didn't start calling themselves
"Hojo".

The only thing astounding here is your relentless stupidity.

The HoJo's referred to in the NPR is one of the last of the original
stand-alone RESTAURANTS. The HoJo's down by Tacoma is part of the
HOTEL/MOTEL/MOTOR LODGE chain, which was separated from the restaurants
and run as a separate entity (but with a common name) decades ago.

But please, keep up with the stupidity. You are your own best parody,
you brainless dumbass.

I could use a scoop of mint chip ice cream right now.

There was one in Fairfield, CA, up till a decade ago. Just the right spot
for long-distance travelers to get a bite to eat before diving into the
SF Bay Area. No more HoJo ice cream, though.

I remember Peppermint Chip ice cream. Little 5mm candy-cane turds in
a vanilla base. I used to pick them out and eat them last.

I picked them out and ate them. I didn't like the ice cream.

Exactly! Just another Julie tale. If you don't like ice cream, don't
order ice cream. I sincerely doubt her parents forced her to order
peppermint ice cream just so she could pick out the candy.

You can buy soft peppermint sticks, too. Light as air. A good word for
them would be "puffy". I caught part of a documentary about the candy
on PBS a couple of weeks ago. I forget the brand name of the peppermint
candies but it's an exremely involved and intense process to make them
that way to sell on a commercial level.

Gonna miss those fried clam strips and ice cream - what a pairing!
