Chapel Hill ... losing which landmark hurt the most?

[Roger Lococco]

A bunch to pick from. Here are a few candidates ...

- The Rat
- Hectors
- Tijuana Fats
- Schoolkid Records
- Fowlers

Feel free to pick any that come to mind. Which one needs to come back the most?

ETA. I know about The Rat coming back.

 

[UNC71-00]

I will believe the Rat is coming back when it is back. They have been saying this for years.

My vote is Hectors

I vote for the pole function when making a thread.

 

[HookUNC75]

Tijuana Fats. I also miss the Port Hole.

 

[bleeduncblue]

The Rat may indeed come back someday, but it wont be able to match The Rat circa 1994.

I miss the old Peppers Pizza.

[Heels Noir]

The Rathskeller . . . best mediocre food in the world.

Schoolkids for me. Call me old fashioned, but I miss the days of spending hours in record stores listening to all the staff recommendations and whatever wacky shit they had playing over the store's speakers. It was an experience. Streaming music services, iTunes, etc. all have their benefits but it just isn't the same.

I've been craving the big bowl of cheese and a hamburger steak for a good long time.

Was this supposed to be a poll?



I'd say the Rat.

FWIW Schoolkids is technically back in Chapel Hill, having taken over the CD Alley on West Franklin.

Below, I have ranked the listed places from what most needs to come back to what least needs to come back.

Schoolkid Records - not just in CH but in Greensboro also.
The Rat - what a dump. But my kind of dump.
Fowlers - I love a mom and pop grocery store.
Tijuana Fats - everybody can use another Mexican joint.
Hectors - never ate there but have head about the dogs and corn on the cob.

This completes this Rank 'em. This is how we do things around here, Roger.
