Don't get me started; the THREE closest Friendly's to me all closed in the last two years or so (and it's HEADQUARTERED about 10 miles from me, so these are LOCAL stores!).
We used to go all the time; my wife and I would each get one of the melts, my stepson his burger, and we'd all get a treat after. I would vary between the chocolate chip ice cream or a black raspberry fribble. The only thing that makes up for it is I have two local creameries that have decent ice cream (one is like a mile away).
