[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 437219, member: 1036"] I can't believe I only ate at Junior's [U]twice[/U] the entire time I was at Tech! ...And I lived in Techwood for two years! Speaking of the Engineer's Bookstore, my first memories place it in the building where Pero's later was, across North Avenue from the AE wind tunnel. I'm not sure if I've got it right, but it seems it was there by the mid-70s. My dad took me in there sometime in '74 and got me a little rubber football emblazoned with the pre-Buzz style yellow jacket. That's my first memory ever setting foot on the Tech campus. The AE Dept. used to lease out wind tunnel time, and he spent quite a bit of time in there doing experiments and took me with him on a couple occasions to watch. By the time I was at Tech, the Engineer's Bookstore had moved back down North Avenue underneath "Spendy's", as we used to call "Wendy's" at the time. I think the campus had two other bookstores back then, the Tech Bookstore at the student center and another one over by Bash Riprock's. If you ever spent time in West Campus or Home Park, Bobby & June's couldn't be beat. And the Cuban sandwiches at the Kool Korner grocery were better than any Cuban sandwiches I've had since. The owner would try to shock new customers by yelling out: "Who got the sandwich with the kangaroo meat?" [/QUOTE]
