Apple! Didn't know they'd gone. Guess too many fast food joints sell their own now.

Pineapple was their best flavor - lemon 2nd, Apple Third, Chocolate fourth.

I remember the Shakey's on Austin Highway. Used to love to watch the pizza chefs toss the dough into the air. Along Austin Hwy we would also frequent: First Mate, Frontier, Bun and Barrel, and Bassett's. Tee Pee Steakhouse was for special occasions. Would go to Mcbees's Fine Meats to grill a steak at home. Austin Highway sure isn't what it used to be. But then again, what is?

I remember the Shakey's and bun and barrel of course. Where was frontier and first mate located?

Frontier was in front of what is now the Lowe's complex, just about behind where the McDonald's is now.

First Mate was at Vandiver, where Little Ceasar's and Shipley's are now.
