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 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. Jill |
