| ssweeny | a few in the city | 14:49 |
| ssweeny | one in the town where i grew up | 14:50 |
| ssweeny | they're not everywhere | 14:50 |
| jedijf | not eat and parks - a real diner | 14:50 |
| jedijf | what is name of your hometown and the diner there | 14:50 |
| jedijf | ssweeny: ^^^ | 14:50 |
| ssweeny | oakdale, the oakdale diner | 14:51 |
| jedijf | ok - qualified | 14:51 |
| ssweeny | awesome soft serve at the twist n' shake behind it | 14:51 |
| jedijf | ssweeny: do you know if it's Greek owned? | 14:52 |
| jedijf | extra level of validation | 14:52 |
| ssweeny | i don't know | 14:53 |
| ChinnoDog | jedijf: I like Eat 'n Park | 15:14 |
| MutantTu1key | eat n park | 15:26 |
| MutantTu1key | best cookies in the mf world | 15:26 |
| MutantTu1key | always on our way home from pittsburg we grab a few boxes | 15:26 |
| ChinnoDog | There was one in Lancaster for a long time but they were replaced by a bank. :-/ | 15:31 |
| * jedijf never had 'eat n park' | 15:43 | |
| MutantTu1key | really? i mean | 15:43 |
| MutantTu1key | it's not much | 15:43 |
| MutantTu1key | but the cookies... | 15:43 |
| ChinnoDog | Around the time I graduated high school Eat 'n Park was the place to be at 2am. Their parking lot would always be packed. | 15:53 |
| MutantTu1key | times sure have changed, eh gramps? | 15:54 |
| ssweeny | eat n' park is the place for smiles | 15:54 |
| ChinnoDog | :-p | 15:54 |
| ChinnoDog | I never figured out which definition of "park" is being used in Eat 'n Park. Park like park a car? Or park like amusement park? | 15:55 |
| MutantTu1key | Park 'n Eat more like | 15:55 |
| ssweeny | i always assumed that | 15:55 |
| ssweeny | they styled themselves after those diners where you eat in your car for a while | 15:56 |
| ChinnoDog | oh... http://www.eatnpark.com/aboutus.asp | 15:57 |
| ChinnoDog | It was a gimmick to distinguish themselves. | 15:57 |
| ChinnoDog | Like the Freeze and Frizz near where I lived. Someone else bought them out and weren't allowed to use the name so they changed it to Frizz and Freeze. | 15:59 |
| MutantTu1key | there's a knockoff rita's near the city | 16:03 |
| MutantTu1key | in wyndmoore or something | 16:03 |
| ChinnoDog | Does it taste like Ritas? | 16:04 |
| MutantTu1key | no idea. looks like it | 16:04 |
| MutantTu1key | I think it used to be a ritas | 16:04 |
| ChinnoDog | Must be a sad day when your italian ice stand can't afford the Ritas franchise fee anymore. | 16:06 |
| MutantTu1key | I'm fairly certain they make a killing | 16:07 |
| MutantTu1key | the poor family run ice cream shop in manayunk on ridge is half a block from ritas | 16:08 |
| MutantTu1key | can't imagine they are doing to well. | 16:08 |
| waltman | personally I'd rather go to a family-run ice cream shop than rita's | 16:17 |
| waltman | water ice gives me a headache :( | 16:18 |
| MutantTu1key | me too. but that isn't the same for the rest of the populace | 16:20 |
| ChinnoDog | Sugar overload? | 16:40 |
| jedijf | MutantTu1key: i think you mean the one in mt airy - used to be a ritas now brand x up on stenton ave | 17:28 |
| * jedijf misses Salerno's Italian Ice on limekiln pike in glenside | 17:29 | |
| MutantTu1key | might be that one | 17:29 |
| jedijf | there's a bad knockoff on welsh rd in maple glen - joe's | 17:30 |
| jedijf | just got off the phone with a client who also owns a Rita's | 17:31 |
| MutantTu1key | interesting | 17:31 |
| MutantTu1key | I'd love to own one | 17:31 |
| waltman | ChinnoDog: it's more the cold than the sugar | 17:31 |
| waltman | MutantTu1key: they're like a license to print money during the summer | 17:32 |
| MutantTu1key | Ideally I'd like to own a McDonalds | 17:32 |
| jedijf | MutantTu1key: he and his wife own a Rita's and a Stewart's Root Beer (about 8 miles apart) | 17:32 |
| MutantTu1key | Stewarts? | 17:33 |
| MutantTu1key | does anyone go there? | 17:33 |
| jedijf | Stewart's KICKS ass | 17:33 |
| waltman | Stewies! | 17:33 |
| jedijf | think old school Sonic | 17:33 |
| waltman | it's a long drive from where I live | 17:33 |
| waltman | I'm not a Sonic fan. The burgers are tasty, but I don't like eating in my car. | 17:34 |
| jedijf | MutantTu1key: claude2 was talking about the same concept(different name - Weber's) in the PLUG channel last week | 17:34 |
| jedijf | both are my clients - and buddies | 17:34 |
| MutantTu1key | I'd take McDonalds anyday | 17:35 |
| jedijf | i had a short en*fat*uation with the 24 hour sonics and 7am Coneys | 17:35 |
| jedijf | http://www.stewartsrestaurantsinc.com/History.html | 17:38 |
| jedijf | the top 2 photos on the left are one of my clients - and tuckerton on the bottom too! | 17:38 |
| MutantTu1key | interesting | 17:58 |
| MutantTu1key | new idea: local air delivery in philadelphia | 18:59 |
| MutantTu1key | I'll buy a few UAV's, and provide a delivery service for all objects under five pounds or something | 18:59 |
| MutantTu1key | forgot your phone? just tell your wife to leave it on the front step and have it delivered to your window | 19:00 |
