Don't cook tonight, call Chicken Delight. Great honey flavor too !
Yeah that is called something else.
Also a Stewart's on Rte. 34 & 79 in Matawan/Old Bridge and one on Main St in Spotswood/East Brunswick.
The Ale House just opened this year. I think the old Mother closed 20-25 years ago.
I remember my dad saying how he would own a Steward' s some day. Never happened, but I thought about all the free root beer I could have. Remember if you got one to go it was in a large waxed container, no cups.
Rte 23 being 2 lanes and having several traffic circles.
Small, local movie theaters instead of the huge 473 screen plexes now.
Not having to pay to go to a high school football game.

The Seaside Heights boardwalk will never be the same. Part of my childhood washed away by Sandy.
I remember the old tIle floor in Menlo Park Mall when it was an L with an Alexander's on one end. We would try to avoid the white tiles, jumping to the brown and orange ones.

Ohrbach's, Meyer Brothers, Willowbrook covered parking lot, the chicken store in downtown Paterson, Johnny and Hanges on River Street in Paterson
Milk Boxes on the front porch. And I can remenmber as a kid living in Newark the trucks coming through the Newark selling watermelons out of the back.
The Showcase Lounge go go bar on Easton Ave. I saw many a visiting coach in there. Open for breakfast at times.
Hi Fi Haven was next door for a while.
Carols Burgers , then Greasey Tony's. Somoygis Bar ( the father of RU legends John & Kristen Somoygi owned it).

Corner stores with rows of comic books, chocolate creme sodas
Chip and putts in Fair Lawn and Saddle Brook
Heh... Now Hillsborough, previously Bridgewater. Should change my profile.
There's talk the Evil Clown of Middletown may be meeting its end soon to make way for a more upscale shopping center. I hope this little gem named Calico never meets its maker.
