Having lived in Georgia at one point in my life, I will second Dbrok's notion. It is one of the better buffets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Veloise 46 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 Where and when are they planning to build? Anyone know? You mean, where along 28th Street? There's a vacant restaurant in the same plaza as Kinko (Roaring 20's??) that looks like a similar style. Perhaps they'll remodel the Alpine Cracker Barrel. Oh, wait, no street frontage.

TenPoundHammer 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 Golden Corral usually takes about 10,000 SF for their newer restaurants, which would be about two to three times the size of your average sit down restaurant, or nearly the size of a smaller Save-A-Lot grocery store. I agree that they are a great buffet, though many locations tend to be super busy all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good pizza and fun entertainment from the Wurlitzer organ . . . .why do fun places that the whole family can enjoy not last long?

I probably just dated myself w/ that blast from the past . . .oh well . . . . . Going back to the original Roaring 20's, must have been 1977 or so, there were murals painted on the outside of Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, etc., as well as murals on the inside depicting the construction of the building as if it happened back in the 20's - not an easy task. I wonder what happened to those, if they were removed or painted over. I did those right after graduation from Kendall along with two other extremely talented recent Kendall grads. We were paid a pittance for the work, but at the time thought it was a small fortune. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember being mezmorized by that thing when I was a kid. If I remember right it raised up on a platform from the basement. As a kid it seemed bigger then life. It probably was a bit smaller though................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRDadof3 2266 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 I didn't realize Roaring 20's was a chain? They had one in Okemos (East of Lansing) when I was growing up, that had the big organ that I think rose out of the floor. It was a very LOUD place from what I remember.

eagle 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2006 LOVED roaring 20's. (I'm only 28 years old but I remember it well.) The windows looking into the billows room. The cool instruments along the walls. The cool bouncer that always sat at the end of the bar and Mickey Mouse coming out sometime during the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since Fruitport is a part of the Greater Muskegon statistcal area it will be a gain for all that live in the Greater Muskegon area. Time to look at the area as a whole not as individual areas only concerned for themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
