I told that story on here about picking up a fat Reese Witherspoon at Survivors in Crossroads. Told me she had herpes, ate it and nailed it without a rubber anyway.

No, above the entrance of Crossroads where you would enter their old movie theatre was some weird thing on like a crane.
I still indulge in Sir Pizza a few times a year if I am the right combo of drunk and high. That shredded pepperoni is tough to beat.
Wow, lot of guys who hung out in same old haunts around here. I probably kicked a few of your asses when we were younger.
-fireworks for 4th of July behind hills southpark. Good times.
RIP in peace

I remember having to sit in Gantos for a solid 2 hours one time while my dad kept giving my mom dresses to try on.

Johnkba says they are still around. So maybe there is hope.
Traveling back to LEX today. Might have to get mah squares on.
-i get sir pizza delivered to the office about once a month. Every thanksgiving saturday my best friend comes up from atlanta(fellow southsider) shoot clays at the farm with the kids...drive home and order a sir pizza to watch uk/ul and the iron bowl(auburn grad).
Sir Pizza is still kicking in at least three places. Broadway (was Waller, the best one) Crossroads and Northside. It's an indulgence I pay for dearly on the following day.
Speaking of pizza, had my 13th birthday party at Godfathers pizza on Southland where Winchells is now. The shiznit.
I was a Turfland Mall kid with a bunch of Fayette Mall/Nicholasville Road kind of friends. Southland was the neutral ground.

Fayette Mall/Crossroads here, although my house was down the street from G.D. Ritzy's off MOW. Bomb cheddar fries, cherry coke and double cheese burger.
Last visit to Lexington was 2014 on our way to Texas for our Son's graduation, spent a few days there visiting relatives and friends and took the wife to Sir Pizza for her to try. Brought back memories for me, she wasn't a fan, spoiled by the pizza here in NY.
Camped out in Crossroads Cinema a many of times, saw The Poseidon Adventure, Dirty Mary/Crazy Larry, The Exorcist. They used to have midnight showings of Christopher Lee Dracula movies, Godzilla, Gattica and such on Friday or Saturdays. Mom worked part time to help make ends meet at the grocery store at Crossroads Center, folks hung out at the little dive bar at the end of the strip facing Reynolds Rd.
Believe I'm a little older than you, so unless you're a Bruner or Banahan, doubt it.
Any remember that big *** version of Alladins Castle that was around in the mid 1980s? Got my Sinistar and Tron fix there
Heard they shut that down, the basement not McDs. Starlight for some KFC, Ponderosa, Jerry's and Southland Lanes.
Found and went to a Ponderosa in Vermont a couple of years ago... it was horrible.
Good stuff there.
Couldn't agree more on those nice lil squares. I loved the crumbled sausage. If i were rich, I'd fly down there right now.
And Allsports has been there since the mall opened I believe. Any other stores been there as long? Chick Fil A always been there during my memory, I guess JC Penny until they file bankruptcy.
Shillito's, McAlpins and Sears are the main stores I remember. Target across the street used to be Gold Circle when it first opened.
I remember going to some store in the mall that did iron on designs. You picked the design and then the shirt. My grandmother got me a badass top of the line model: a two color blue sleeves, white body shirt with some weird car iron on AND had my damn name across the back. It was the little kid version of the pimp suit.
I miss...
- The arcade in Crossroads Shopping Center. The place was awesome.
- Mango's restaurant in Fayette Mall when it first expanded past Sears. Knew the kitchen manager when it first opened.
- The movie theater in Turfland Mall. For some reason, it had the best buttered popcorn in the world for a ******** theater when I lived in those apartments behind it 25 years ago.
- Dawahare's. Always had good UK gear.
- TGIFriday's in South Park. The one behind Fayette Mall just doesn't have the same atmosphere.
- Darryl's Restaurant. Of course.

I spent many a Friday nights in the 90s taking in dollar movies, spending quarters at Tony's Arcade, smoking doobies in the parking lot and grubbing at Sir Pizza in the magnificent Crossroads Plaza.
Mr. Wiggs at corner of Malabu/Nicholasville Rd(I think)
South Park was over behind Crossroads? Don't think it had been open very long before I moved away. Do remember there being a Soda Shoppe there and you could get all kinds of flavored drinks that Kroger's didn't normally carry.
That was in Fayette Mall. It went out about the time Bachrach did. I loved both of those stores.
Now that's going old school for some stores. Hadn't thought of those in forever.
