  • You remember Wright's Barnyard?

  • @ELVINKNOX Hell yeah i remember Wright's Barnyard!!! It borke my heart when they closed it down. Same thing can be said for Frair Tuck's video arcade off 159th street.

  • well shakeys is alive and kickin in the philippines.

  • Ohhh!! That's where all the Shakey's restaurants went to....they jumped ship and went overseas!!!!

  • Thanks for posting this. Shakeys had good pizza! It was the closest 1970's kids had to Chuckee Cheese. It was greatness. Remember Friar Tucks arcade across the street?

  • Aww man!!! Who could forget Friar tucks, man!?!? I teared up a little when they closed it a few years ago. No places for people who appreciated the coin operated games anymore. A damn shame.

see all

  • remember the toys r us on 159th in calumet city,il.?

    it was also shown on ''thats incerdible'' a tv show in the 70's....

    as being huanted by a child spirit, where the investigators laid down baby powder and found foot prints. amazing!

  • When I was attending college in Sacramento, I often went for lunch to the original Shakey's on J Street. (Yes, Sacramento is where Shakey's got started.) Now that glorious old brick building stands vacant--I tell you, it's enough to make a grown man cry.

  • Thanks for the post. I remember going there as child. Fond memories!

  • @zerozander Yep. And still home to one of the better cheap-but-satisfying lunches you'll run across anywhere.

  • I remember Shakeys!

    I still go out to River Oaks Mall to get some good food at the food court!

  • the shakiest film I ever saw!!! hehe I remember Shakeys

  • How sad.... Loved Shakey's Pizza here in Vancouver Washington. Always a great time and great food!

  • See this reminds us all of our short time here on Earth. Very touching.
