Pat's stopping by tomorrow to get her evaluation of when they will reopen. He and I just spoke about temporarily moving to a DQ Grill and Chill nearby on the same road if they can't make repaìrs by the 11th of Feb.

I've never been, and we don't have one here, but it must be a good diner. I only found 3 or so online.

And yes. They're very good. It's one of those places where when someone asks, "What's good on the menu?" I can say "most everything".
And they are quite accommodating to us, and to car clubs and car-related activities, in general.
Good people.

How does the food compare to Stake'n'Shake? Not a fan of greasy food.

Philly Cheese and Philly Chicken sandwiches.
Chicken Fried Steak.
Italian, as I seem to recall.
All sorts of breakfast foods. (Yes... you can have beer with your scrambled eggs. :D )

I like Italian supreme sandwiches.
Any word? The fire happened in the morning when no one was there, right?

Usually you have to get your business permit signed off on again, the fire department has to inspect repairs, and you have to get the inspector sticker (usually after an inspection fee). Then there's possible preventive measures. Suddenly, they find codes you're in violation of, like 2-prong outlets, or grease removal policies, or inadequate degreaser, or raw grease.

We used to do the police department IT work at cost (materials) per the manager, with the idea that they'd reciprocate on tickets and such. They did not reciprocate, by any stretch of the imagination. Even when they were getting this free service, they were belligerant, complained about having to wait their turn, etc. They did abuse this benefit, having us work for free on their personal computers, their family's computers, and their friends' computers. When that manager was demoted, I was put in charge. I ended the policy, which caused the police to complain to corporate. The previous manager was fired.
If I am ever called to the carpet, there is no quid pro quo. I expect the king treatment, and think everyone should get the king treatment. Where I said I would do something, I did it. I always did a bit extra. I don't give special treatment, or owe anyone special treatment. Our clients get timely, professional service, and most of them think they're our only client. Similarly, if I'm caught speeding, for example, I expect to get a ticket. Not harassed. No special treatment. Just a professional job. I haven't had to deal much with fires. I really only deal with the firefighters on the radio, although one of our clients does training for firefighters.

http://www.galaxydineratlanta.com/ They have a menu and other stuff, if you're interested. (Really wish they served Mexican on the weekends.)
Regarding the IT stuff... I worked at Motorola for ten years. Fixed Dekalb county's (among others) radios and systems.
Have been doing telecommunications at the power company since I left there. (25 years.)
I'll bet we could share some interesting war stories.

tshark... I was looking for details about the fire (nothing that hasn't been posted here, already) and found their website, again.

Probably will, but my stories (or perhaps my telling of them) is generally boring.
I looked through that menu, and a plainer one I had found online. I make one Fiero thing a year, usually. The plan is for Fierorama this year, the 35th, then Frazee (I want to meet Danyel). After that, perhaps. I just can't justify 17 hours' drive, otherwise. My wife and I work opposite schedules, so I try to be home when she is. I take plenty of day trips, but usually 7-8 hours in length, max.
Look at it this way: PFF is a very different place from this. You'll know me fairly well here, by the time we meet.
Post by: Raydar on January 23, 2017, 10:35:20 pm
No big. I need to (one of these days) start driving outside the Southeast, to some other events.
Frazee was a done deal before I really started paying attention.
Would like to do North Texas. (ruckus?) Would like to do the Dells. Lots of others. Just that life gets in the way.
Post by: GTRS Fiero on January 23, 2017, 11:31:31 pm
Yeah, they're trying to get me to go to something in April, in Texas. Dunno. Ruckus, or Roundup, or something.
I know people in my area have a reputation of not having been anywhere (in particular, not crossing rivers), but I've been literally around the world. I've been to the 48 contiguous states. Not a stretch to go back to Georgia. My kids are always with me, so any trip must be beneficial to them, also.
I'm glad to see than the diner will be back in business soon.
