Big bowl game tonight between my Dad's alma mater and my law school alma mater, that neither of us care beyond me having a lot of confidence points on Pitt.

like Jiffy Lube, only quicker

Huh, I guess they don't have them around here or in Cincy.  Chick-Fil-A of course once was a rather localized restaurant also.  They used to be primarily in shopping malls, which were these large shopping areas back a century ago or so.

When did the Fiesta Bowl become "major"?  I know the Peach was with the CFP thing.  It had been a pretty good lesser bowl game in general.

The Gator once was a decent bowl, best after the Big Four, and then the Cap One took that slot, and I suppose still has it.

Belks are pretty rare these days, mall only I think.  When I was a kid they were a pretty major department store in the south, nothing special, Rich's here in the ATL was unique and different but Federated subsumed them.  We also had Davidson's, which I think is gone.  Cincy had Shilto's for a while.

Sears and JC Penny were pretty prevalent back in the day.  There is a huge Sears "store" here built in the late 1920s that was THE Sears when we moved here in 1964.

It's now an interesting mixed shopping center.  Of course, with malls dying right and left, this one is about 3 years old and often packed with people, it's a fad, perhaps one that may last.  The area near it is exploding with development, mostly new apartment buildings.  We walk there when the weather is nice.

I still pronounce chick fil a with a short a

just to bother folks

I don't understand the facination - the sammich isn't that good

I haven't been to one of them since the 80s in the covered mall that was built about 1980.  My junior year of high school.  Not sure when the chick fila appeared in the food court.  Wasn't impressed then.  Haven't ever been to the new one. It's been there about 10 years.

I just think of "Hi, I'm Bob Villa".  And then pronounce it like that.  Chick Filla.

The sandwiches are good though for a fast food restaurant.  I missed out on the brief Popeye's craze, but to me it is the best fast food chicken sandwich I've had.

Pitt once again cannot get out of their own way. Falling to Detroit’s Bowl Vs possibly the least talented team playing in this season’s bowl lineup is all on Pitt. This is the second straight year Narduzzi has obtained a November Top 25 ranking only to go into the tank and put his extension in question, this year closing out the season with a 28-0 loss to Virginia Tech and an inexcusable loss to Boston College after a 7-3 beginning. A 9-4 record would’ve bought Narduzzi some much needed goodwill. Least Narduzzia can close this year out with his first bowl win in four tries.
