OT: If you could resurrect an Athens restaurant from the past and put it where 5 Guys was

Herbie’s

Wilson’s Soul Food.

Is Da Vincis pizza still around? That was my all time fav deep dish pizza growing up

Nope. It gone, too.

You'd have to resurrect Herbie, too, unfortunately.

He was a good dude.

The Five Star story is pathetic.

The original downtown was gangbusters.

Then they sold a franchise to a local investor to open east side location.

They also were gangbusters.

Then, management stepped away thinking they could just pick up their dividend check once a month and both locations went bankrupt.

Restaurants don’t run themselves.

They could have 50 locations by now, all over the southeast, just like barbaritos or zaxby’s et al, but instead they got lazy and the brand is no more.

One of the saddest and pathetic small business stories in Athens history.

There are many more sordid details to go along with it, but it would be low class for me to post them.

Five Star Day x3. Miss that place

Shrimp boats or whatever that nasty place on Baxter used to be.
