Is there a shoneys where you are? Do you ever eat there?

There were many of those around where I grew up and up until about year 2002 or so, but now I no longer see them. By the early 1990s they had gone down hill and had become very generic, nasty, poorly kept up. This could have been a regional problem and I think they may have been bought out aggressively by Denny’s, which has always been known for horrible restaurants.
