GALAXY DINER IS CLOSING

[Fierofool]

No Nuns, even though a lot of them may have Habits.

My V8 club guys are having this same discussion.  Ill let y'all know what we come up with.  That was our Board of Directors meet up before we went t o a club members garage to do the actual club business.  Our monthly club meeting is always held at JR's Loghouse located just LOP on Peachtree Industrial blvd in Doraville.  They have been friendly the last few years.  They have a "meeting room" in the back we use they close off the partition doors.  Prior to JR's we meet at the Old Hickory House, but that became a problem for reasons I was not privy to back then and thus the switch to JR's

Out of curiosity, when did they find out?

[MikeMac]

Our Board Chairman and I talked this morning and we talked about a temporary place until a final location can be determined.  Old Hickory was one, but Mike said that he thought it was going to be closing due to area development projects.  Another temporary location is the Varsity Jr. just off Jimmy Carter Blvd. in Norcross.  Just waiting on him to name a place for this month's meeting.

The Old Hickory House is closing at some point according to rumors but would work for a temporary location.

JR's on Peachtree is easier to get to right off 285 though. I can call them tomorrow and see if we can set up there for a few months until we can find a place. Thoughts?

[GTRS Fiero]

There must be another name.  So, non-smoking, family-friendly, club-friendly, large-lot, easy-access?

I would call first, to get their opinion.  If they say no, it doesn't matter what we think.  If they say yes, it's at least an option.  I prefer to start with all my facts.

It may have been another name but I have dined at JR's seems like 25-30 years ago and I think it was just BBQ then.  They now have a wider variety.  From their website:
BBQ & old-school Southern breakfast are the specialties of this down-home restaurant built of logs.

How about it, Art Doctor.  What's on their lunch table?

[MikeMac]

I'll call them tomorrow.

Having a meeting room would make it much easier to conduct a meeting.

[The Art Doctor]

Their menu is no worse than the Galaxy but certainly smaller.  Yes it is a BBQ place, but they have salads, burgers, sausages, good sides, bread baskets.  To be honest it is predicable, reasonably priced and just ok.  However, their Sunday brunch is awesome, I wish they served anytime breakfast.   Possibly have a meeting on Saturday earlier to catch the breakfast?

The Varsity Jr is a good idea.
I am also familiar with JR's. It's been quite a long time since I've been there, but if they are "club friendly", it's a valid consideration. 

[Fierofool]

Mike, did you check on anything? 

[MikeMac]

We can meet at JR's Log House this month if that works for everyone. They seemed happy to accommodate us. I went ahead and reserved the meeting room for this month at our regular meeting time.

JR's Loghouse, 6601 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092

Off the access road, just south of Jimmy Carter Blvd.  Peachtree Corners Circle

There is a problem if coming south on Peachtree Industrial.  There is no exit to the access road.  One must figure out how to get onto Jimmy Carter Blvd in order to get onto the access road.  Coming north there's an exit for Jones Mill Rd/Peachtree Corners Circle. 

[The Art Doctor]

If coming South on Peachtree Industrial Blvd  one needs to make a right on Holcomb Bridge Road and then a left on 141 staying to the right two lanes and taking the access road.  JR's then has parking lot access direct from the access road, it is on your right.

[GTRS Fiero]

Thanks, T.A.D.

I propose that, if JR's is chosen as the permanent meeting place, the directions from both TAD & Fierofool are added to the home page, along with a link to a map marked with these directions.

[Fierofool]

T.A.D, that would be RIGHT on Holcomb Bridge and then Left on 141 if coming south on PIB.

[The Art Doctor]

You are correct, I went back and fixed it after I realized what I had done.  We must have been typing at the same time, I corrected about a minute before you posted.
