Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11

I just read this online, it is pretty sad. Its been a gathering spot for 60 years, bought out by big business expansions.

Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11

If you read the article its says Porky's approached the company buying them stating they wanted to sell.

Such a huge bummer though!

Maybe people will start meeting at a better place now away from all the idiot ricers and just morons in general.

I might hit porkys up this weekend for one more colon cleanse.

Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11

That sucks. I know the strip was overrun with ricers and gangbangers, but this is truely the end of an era. Porkeys always had the big dogs when it came to HP and domestic muscle. It will be missed.

Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11

I'd stop by on Saturday, but I'll be in Iowa. Someone should consume onion rings and a strawberry shake for me.

Fuck, I can taste it now, too.
