Lifetime

A few things. Mid 70s when I played in the Roanoke Symphony we lodged at

The Ponce de Leon and played concerts in the old American Theater. After the coliseum was built we lodged at the Hotel Roanoke and played concerts at the new coliseum. Anyway I ate many a meal at the “ Boiler Room”! Great memories! ( Ditto Texas Tavern!) Also Garden and Gun is a gooderly magazine! I always enjoy!

Who here is familiar with the Chili Bun? First I've heard of this delicacy.

Was it TOTS that had a late-night street level hot dog business
UpperQuadVet • 02/10/23 11:13 AM ET
Didn't TOTS stand for "Top of the Stairs"? Not likely street level.**

Steve's sold hot dogs, and there was also a doorway between
Blobster • 02/10/23 12:18 PM ET
Steve's hot dogs. A friend puked on the window on the way home one night.
dolph • 02/10/23 11:23 AM ET
The first three are correct...

Didn't there used to be a Famous Uncle Al's there?**

I've always called them a sloppy (my real name) since it is like sloppyjoe
Kudelski • 02/10/23 10:38 AM ET
didn't realize they had a name...my wife eats them, won't eat hotdogs
Vienna_Hokie • 02/10/23 10:18 AM ET
Same here, my wife always messes up the bun/dog ratio. I like to gross her
UEMcGill • 02/10/23 02:43 PM ET
I think that is almost universally true of married women. TIC**

Haven’t been the the Vienna Inn for a hot minute, kinda wanna go now
Brewing_Hokie • 02/10/23 11:22 AM ET
That's how my mom always had them.**
