Is it me or have all my favorite restaurants Closed Down?

[HiLsyde707Kloun]

I shed a couple tears today after realizing that most of my favorite restaurants have closed. I was sitting down at the table, eating a chili-cheese dog @ my gf's house, and all the sudden, a single tear fell (à la Denzel in Glory). It brought me back to a place I used to frequent as a child... "Colonel Mustard's" near the Grand Lake theatre in Oakland. "Ahh, those tasty hotdogs, I recounted," in my head. "What has happened to ye?" Then, I thought about all the other food establishments that I remember from my earlier years. Emma's Fish in Oakland, Bud's Burgers on Springs in Vallejo, and Checker's in Chicago. I can't help but reminisce about what used to be. The simple days. Where good food was just around the corner. Has anyone else experienced their favorite restaurants going out of business or seemingly disappearing after you return after a long absence from said favorite restaurant? It's a sad reality, but we must keep on keeping on.

Not really most of the places I went to as a kid are still open.

But a few places in my city and other cities that I liked a few years ago, are not closed..

Clarke's Burgers is still open though, sine 1945 .. it will never die!

IT'S MORE LIKE MY FAVORITE EATING PLACES HAVE NEVER EXISTED....I STILL WANT TO TRY SOME CHICKEN AND WAFFLES...THEY GOT ONE IN OAKLAND I HEARD???

Ya... There's a couple. There's one in Lake Merritt Bakery, I think it's called. The supermarket with the bakery. And there's another one on, I think Embarcadero. I don't know if it's still there. There used to be a Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles in Oakland, but from what I remember, it wasn't all that good.
