Friendly's?

I just was by the Burke Friendly's and it looked like the signs were down and dark inside. However, there were cars in the parking lot. What's up? Is it closing??

It shut down the 29th, no notice given to employees (thanks, Brad!).

Terrible management the last several years by the franchise owner who ran it into the ground (five of the nine stores he took over in Virginia and Maryland have gone under).

Most likely the building will be torn down since it has major leaks in the roof. The managers feared the AC unit could crash through the ceiling at any time.

It's a great location and whatever comes next should do well.

Yeah, if they serve actual goddamned food, and not the steaming garbage that Friendly's was churning out. The place was filthy; the service was brutal; the food was dreadful. About the only useful service it performed was that you could take your kid's sports team there after games.

Good-bye; nobody's going to miss that place.

No, but a lease is signed according to the company that owns the shopping center.

Turn $6 into $1,000’s!!! No Scam, Read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY
MONEY!! IT WORKS !!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO
WORK!!!!
A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroup, just
like you are now and came across an article similar to this that said
you could make thousands dollars within weeks with only an initial
investment of $6.00! So I thought, “Yeah, right, this must be a scam”,
but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. : Anyway, it
said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in
the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroup. (There
are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and
talking to few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what
have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Like most of us I
was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of
it : All, So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I
invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!?. Within 7 days, I started
getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon,
but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about
$25.00. By the end second week I had made a total over $1,000.00! In
the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it’s still growing. This is
now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and
it’s still coming in rapidly. Its : Certainly worth $6.00, and 6
stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you
HOW this works and most importantly, WHY it works! Also, make sure you
print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of
it as you need it.

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the
following on each piece of paper “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.”

STEP 2: Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent
thievery.

STEP 3: Next, place one paper in each stating the above phrase, your
name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a
service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!

STEP 4: Mail the 6 envelopes to the
following addresses:
#1)Tony Childs 5339 east ocean blvd. # F, Long Beach,Ca 90803
#2)Tawny Cole 3512 Lockport St. Las Vegas, NV 89129
#3)Matthew Dickerson, 548 Lake St, Morgantown WV 26505
#4) Chad Hinkle
701 Western Apt 319 97501
#5) Erika Evans, 1103 forest ave, bronx NY, 10456
#6) Milad Abadi, 7749 Quail Run Lane, Manassas, Va, 20109

STEP 5: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc?.) and add YOUR Name as
number 6 on the list.

STEP 6: Change anything you need to, but try to
keep this article as close to original as possible.

STEP 7: Now, post your
amended article to at least 200 newsgroups, message board. (I think
there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember,
the more you post, the more money you make!

SO START NOW!!!!!

REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS OR MESSAGE BOARD YOU
POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**

That’s it! You will begin
receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually
can rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive.
If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as
the postman will deliver it.

**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
CORRECT. ** :

Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only
5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my name at #6
on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make
the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons
respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now
those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5
replies each, I will bring in an additional :$125.00! Now, those 125
persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and
only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now
here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200
letters with my name at #2 and they only receive 5 replies, that just
made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message
to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment
of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you
just take latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00
to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start
posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands
of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these
articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.. and
see if it really works!! I know it to be true! People have said, ‘what
if the plan is played out and no one sends you: the money? So what are
the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users
and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups
everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to
50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?!?!?
——————————————————–

Seriously,
most people think this is a scam, but you actually do get thousands of
dollars out of it, it is NOT another stupid scam, if people follow
through with sending out $6, it works!!!!!
