Just down the street from your humble blogger, the Fat Boy closed its doors this month, thereby preventing countless clogged arteries with its amazing array of greasy spoon delights. Maybe someone will buy the property and reopen it. At the top is the now defunct diner immortalized in a Zippy the Pinhead comic strip. (photo from GR Press)
Ran across your blog searching for the Zippy comic strip; just last week I was talking with my co-workers about going to lunch there again. We used to frequent Fat Boy when we were in the business park on Fuller (now working downtown) but haven't been there in over a year.
ReplyDeleteFat Boy is (was) a place that seemed like it has always been there and always would be. It's sort of like a phantom-limb now.
