That feeling when you wake up at 11pm and really want to go to Friday’s, see a few locals, play some trivia and have a hamburger. The Friday’s in town closed many years ago. Never found another place to refill that particular hole in my psyche. Additionally, as I have aged most folks I know have grown more introverted and don’t like being out and about. Most of the time it is fine… 💚

Used to live within walking distance of the Glory Days in Burke. Did not help my waistline, but did help the mind ;-)

Still vividly remember being there one early thursday around 4ish and hearing a tremendous crash of breaking glass from around the corner.

Then silence.

Then "I'm not telling him, you tell him"

They'd just broken every wine glass they had that wasn't currently in a customers hand 😆

@pixelpusher220 @fuzzface Holy shit that’s a blast from the past! I haven’t been to Glory Days since college. Totally walked out with a martini glass in my purse because I was a poor college student with expensive alcoholic drink expectations, lol!

@miri @pixelpusher220 Yup. I refer to my area in Northern Virginia where I live as “the place where restaurants go to die.” This was true before Covid, but obviously got worse during it.

@fuzzface @pixelpusher220 I really miss the Thai place I would get lunch from in Herndon and the Mexican place in Gainesville.

My options now are fast food, chains, or “hope you like BBQ or Southern stuff.” We have some good restaurants, but they are super hard to get reservations to :/
