Is that the one in Chili? 

 

 

  There was one of those in Hornell, NY on 21 West going towards Almond during the 1980's.  Never ate there. Usually went to Friendly's in Hornell with a date.

Hungry? Hit the Red Barn.

 

There was a 'Red Barn' on Lakeshore Drive in Dunkirk, my dad's hometown. I remember it as kid in the '70s when we went to see my grandmother. The building has survived and is currently operating as 'Pizza Village' (below), directly across the road from the Dunkirk Marina.

 

 

My image from the '70s is the 'Sears Winner II' sneaker. I had these bad boys in green and in red (the split suede over nylon) when I was in middle school. I thought they were awesome when I was a kid. ❤️

There was one on Main St. in Buffalo, quite close to St. Mary's School for the Deaf.  That was Ernie Warlick's store.  Also one at Bailey and Highgate, near UB.  I don't think Ernie had ownership in the latter.

I remember my dad piling the family into the car and taking us all to Bailo's. As a kid, that beef on weck seemed as big as my head! The horse meat rumors were unfounded and debunked but, even if they hadn't been, that was some seriously delicious equine. ?  It was a sad day when it caught fire.

We used to have them in WNY... used to get a postcard every year for your birthday, good for one dog, one fry, and one root beer. I still have one that I never used, probably because I wasn't old enough to drive at the time. That place was a real treat once a year or so.

Arf n Barf!

The one we used to go to was on Genesee about a quarter mile east of Transit on the north hand side of the road... best of my recollection anyways. Could have been Main though but it was near the mall.
