The other end of town has a similar building where the old Arby's was on the corner of College and Atherton. Beaver has a bunch of new high rises as well. Not sure about the six pack shop. I'll be down there next week and report back.
OW Houts was demolished many years ago. I want to say around 2010 ish, bought by PSU. I enjoyed that place while it was open.
The parking lot across from Baby's and the GMan(not a Permanti Bros) is a monstrosity of an apartment building. Ugly as ugly can get. The recently demolished the Garden House apartments and the stored where Eddies Bicycles is to build another monstrous apartment building. The corner of W College and Atherton(across from where Arby's way) is another monstrosity of an apartment building. It aint the same small town with mom and pop places everywhere. Chain stores and chain eating joints.The other end of town has a similar building where the old Arby's was on the corner of College and Atherton. Beaver has a bunch of new high rises as well.

Speaking of six pack shops, there was one on East College that served cheap drafts in the 90's. We'd stop by there on the way to bars/parties to get properly lubricated before a night out.
I’m pretty sure it was either here or Tom’s old board where someone posted what the rent is at some of these new places…I was floored. I remember paying $294/month for a 3-person place in Cedarbrook in the late 90s, and that seemed really expensive at the time.
I remembered it being something crazy like that. The loans these kids come out with must be insane.
$275/month for a two bedroom on Waupelani Drive in 1971
They are made in Boalsburg At a Bakery on Discovery Drive just off Boal Ave. Sold all over town.
this has been a frequent topic over the years on the board.
Onward State posted Part 1 of an article on the subject. I think some of our past threads were better on the subject, but it's an interesting read.
State College Staples That Alumni Miss The Most: Part One
From the Darkhorse Tavern to Playland, our readers reflected on a wide handful of State College staples they missed the most.onwardstate.com
I used to bus tables and wash dishes at the Deli. In addition to pay, you received a sandwich (Reuben or Cheesesteak with SOM for me) a side (French Onion soup), and a drink (Chocolate Malt). The money was awful, but I ate well.Damn I didn't know The Deli closed. They used to have a really good Reuben.
I also didn't know that Highway on Weserly parkway closed either. Double Damn.
I never thought the Post House a "townie" bar.
I always thought the Deli's Onion Soup was very good.
You mean Sports Cafe. lol I bounced there for a couple of years while I was in school.The G man.
SportCenter. The Pizza Hut of sports bars.
It was SportsCenter until they were forced to change the name.
blood plasma donation funded many a trip out to the bars.
And it seemed easier/cheaper to get drunk after a visit to Seratec
Joe Nastasi was a bartender there post-graduation
SeraTec may be gone but BioLife at the corner of Beaver and Atherton is providing that service in downtown State College and CSL Plasma is out on North Atherton next to Giant.
