Druid blocks any realistic access coming west on that road, and a median at L'ville Hwy blocks access if you're headed north on that road. I live in the area and routinely see cars having a tough time getting in and out of the neighboring parcels in this strip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-70890466090397350952011-12-05T22:42:16.909-05:002011-12-05T22:42:16.909-05:00I think part of Checker's problem was keeping ...I think part of Checker's problem was keeping the Rally's name around for a long time. <br /><br />I don't work to far from the former N DeKalb Mall location and it was tough to get in or out of depending on which lane of traffic you're in or trying to get to. So a busy intersection can be a blessing or a curse. <br /><br />I've always been a fan of Checker's fries. Especially when you could get them loaded with cheese and bacon.TheJohnPhttp://twitter.com/thejohnpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-72328343493155280862011-12-05T20:31:32.028-05:002011-12-05T20:31:32.028-05:00Drive thru only Starbucks would be great.

Dekalb Mall.<br /><br />Starbucks isn't doing this currently, and maybe they think it would 'cheapen' the brand. All I know is that when I drive by the Starbucks way out in the sticks (Berkely Lake area), there are a lot of cars going through the drivethru.mindspringyahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916299133467799390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-31777668065517227282011-12-05T14:03:59.000-05:002011-12-05T14:03:59.000-05:00I really wish they would close that ghetto Checker...I really wish they would close that ghetto Checker's on 10th Street.

I recall reading he dined their prior to committing the murder, but nowhere that he was an employee of the restaurant. I'd hate to spread a rumor like that but if you know otherwise, please share.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Atlantan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06115362060612910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-56835687811307146242011-12-05T12:11:38.539-05:002011-12-05T12:11:38.539-05:00Hey,

Zaxby's stores are at least somewhat attractive and try to blend in with the neighborhood. I hope Checker's closes the 14th street location. Can you imagine overpaying to live at Aqua condos and have to look out at that overgrown pinball machine? Not to mention that one of the Checkers customers walked across the street to rob and murder an Aqua resident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-33044133037108582572011-12-05T09:31:58.369-05:002011-12-05T09:31:58.369-05:00Growing up in South Florida, Checkers was a unique...Growing up in South Florida, Checkers was a unique place we'd stop through for hot dogs after soccer or baseball practice. I'm sure I'm not the only one who preferred hot dogs to cheeseburgers at that age. Plus their fries were like the ones at a baseball stadium which all the kids love. I think Checkers would have been best served marketing strongly to kids so they asked their parents to take them there. I'm not sure any kids these days are saying "Mommy please take us to Checkers." <br /><br />I'm sure renting/buying land and building the FSU's is very expensive compared to opening in-line space. Perhaps in the long run the brand will last longer with their current less expensive strategy.SBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-15313299285906262162011-12-05T06:26:57.595-05:002011-12-05T06:26:57.595-05:00The Broad Street (GSU) location has been closed fo...The Broad Street (GSU) location has been closed for a couple of weeks.midtown bluenoreply@blogger.com
