Hooters I Have Known

I carefully plan my quarterly visits with Dr. Kristen in Auburn for early Friday mornings. This allows me to get over to Columbus, Georgia in time for lunch at Hooters when there is a full staff present. Montgomery is one example of a city overrun by ubiquitous "Wing Places". Mexican restaurants are a close second with more opening each month. Wings at the wing places are puny. Hooters wings are big, breaded and meaty. Nothing comes close... not ever Buffalo Wild Wings. Wings, food in general, atmosphere, television sets... nothing beats Hooters. This visit was from June 2018. I could swear these young ladies are getting taller and taller.

More Time Has Passed or "Hooters I Have Known"

You get busy in life. There's always something to divert your attention away from blogging and these past few years have been no exception. I have created and moderate several Facebook Groups in addition to promoting our own farm in central Alabama. It's easy to pop into Facebook, leave a posting or comment, then move on to other things. Drive-by posting as Rush would put it. As there is no longer a Hooters in Montgomery, Alabama, I have to get my wings elsewhere. Columbus, Georgia is a favorite spot. I have dined there since the current site opened around 1994 and the Columbus Mall location before that. The Adams Farm Road Hooters was renovated in 2017 and it's a lovely place to stop and have some wings. The cables where orders used to glide from the dining area ("ORDER IN!") to the kitchen are gone. It was always fun watching the hanging clips travel back and forth and I miss that. One of my doctors, whom I see once a quarter, is located in Auburn, Alabama. I will make a Friday morning appointment with Kristen, my PA. By the time my appointment is over and by the time I get to Columbus from Auburn taking into account the time zone change (from Central to Eastern), it's lunch time. This was one such lunch in June 2017.
