When I was at Tech (72-76) we used to go to the Pitt Grill a lot. Also some Mexican food place on California in a shopping centre next to the K&B Drugstore. And Bonanza on Tuesdays, which was ladies night. On Wednesday nights after astronomy lab we went for pizza. Forget whether it was Pizza Hut or Pizza Inn, but it was also on California.

Another soul food place in Ruston in addition to Blue Light is Sweet Peas both are still there. Also the Mexican Restaurant was El Pollinos..."Table for Two"....the same girl seated us for years and we had her voice inflection down to a tee. Bonanza is now a shoe store. Pitt Grill has been long gone. Do y'all remember Munchies sandwich shop and Al's Taco Grande (the only place open after midnight?) They were good but both gone. Restaurants have struggled there for years!
But guess what they are starting to get chains! They have a Chili's and an Applebee's! Times are a changing indeed!

Seems like they have a Super 1 where a nice old house used to be also. The times have been changing.

I see in the paper today that Marion Spataro has died. Anyone remember Spataro's rest. in the Remington,downtown? You would if you had one of his steaks! Delicious! I knew him originally from when he owned "The Circle In The Square" all those years. I remember his office was COVERED in Autographs from people like Robin Trowers and Stevie Ray Vaughn, to PANTERA(who eventually met their singer in that bar!). I ran into Marion recently(actually I changed his flat for him) and he seemed in good health- Anyway, just wondering if any of yall remember him.....?
