They knocked my last remaining Denny's down to buikd a drive-thru car
wash. They've put up a La Qinta motel just off of Route 66 here. I keep
hoping.  Bv)=

IHOP isn't one of my favourite places. They are trying to re-brand as
IHOB (burgers). And their pancakes never were "best in class", But, 
then, nothing at IHOP were was. Plus they've jacked around with their
"senior menu"
