Where is Hollydale?

Speedcat Hollydale TavernIf there is one question I hear all the time, it's "Where is Hollydale and what is it like?" Well, take a little stroll with me down to the local bar!

I quit drinking some time ago, but still head down to Hollydale burger thick juicy hot and moist ohh babythe Hollydale Tavern once in a while because of the great food and the lively atmosphere. Many of the town's most prominent business people and city officials are found there on a regular basis too.
These photos were taken during the lunch rush, so the restaurant side of the place was booming, and the bar was still closed. In Hollydale it is a city ordinance that liquor cannot be poured in a public establishment until after 3:00 PM
I know, this sounds strange, but Hollydale was a "dry" city until the late 70's
The best thing in the world is a giant half pound Hollydale Burger.
Hollydale bar chicks women all gone until three pmsOnce you have had one of these beauties ... you will be forever changed. The fries are so good that ketchup is an option! Prices are still decent compared to many other parts of the nation, as five dollars will get you chow and a drink to boot.
This will be installment number one in my new "What the Heck is Hollydale" series that will run every Thursday. Next week will highlight the Hollydale Drug Store built way back in 1897.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Since you'll already be at the FedEx office sending Akilah a burger, could you please send me a one as well.

dcr said...

How is it that you have to walk to the bar when we all know you have at least two cars?

You know, the cars a couple of your readers won but never received.

I figured you'd be driving the streets of Hollydale in style!

;-)

Mike Golch said...

while you are sitting in the "tavern" have a cool one for will you,Thanks.

Michelle Dawn said...

That looks awesome! I would love to visit there. Great post and looking forward to more.

Sandee (Comedy +) said...

What fib Speedy? That pub is in London. I've been there. I'm not fibbing.

Big hug. :)

John C said...

BACON! BACONBACONBACON BACON!

I AteZOR my monitor.

It's 2am here, and no diner open for such. You're evil. I love you.

mauniejames3 said...

thank goodness I fell asleep early

I really could have eaten again.

I did throw away the chocolate cake

Marie has a catering company in

Canada so she is only here for a

month.

Hubby wants to visit her...he says

for the cooking....humm

mauniejames3 said...

I wish I could have sent you all something. The burgers were huge and she had the beef ground herself so we could eat them medium
instead of cooked all the way thru.
They had huge sausages ribs and four kinds of salad. The deserts
were amazing..(why do I always end up talking about food?)

Hope everyone has an awesome day
today.

wendy said...

So fun to come through and read the comment blitz the morning after. lolz!
So .. . we're snacking on cake and bacon and burgers? I'm heading over to the tavern right now to order a bacon burger on cake. Bacon cake, with little cheesey doodles baked in. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. cheese doodles.

Hey. Voyeurs like me would like to see you and Mrs. Speedcat go to the drug store together. Dressed as ducks. :) Dare ya.

The REAL Mrs. Speedcat ... not Angelina Jolie Speedcat dressed as a duck.

Now .... where is my passport? I wanna go to that tavern. (I only ate vegetables last night after 7 p.m. and I really REALLY wanted chocolate!)

and yes ... leprechauns turned me into a duck.

heeellllllllpppppp ... I waddle when I walk and my bum is a funny shape!
Wait. That's normal.

wendy said...

.... WAAACKKKK wack wack wack.

Sherry said...

That burger looks yummy even it I did just eat Taco Bell!

The Hussy Housewife said...

Mmmmm.looks yummy. Great photo shopping of yourself! LOL!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hussy Housewife ... well thank you very much. I did it with crayons.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Sherry G ... I know!!! To bad it was flat and tasted like glass

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Wendy ... I have to get married and dress like a duck ??????


Well, if it is good for blogging I guess I will do it! ... and then get divorced the next day - also good for blogging !!!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Maunie ... FOUR kinds of salads? Hmmmm, lets see

1. Arugala
2. Iceberg
3. Yellow
4. Spinach


I guess it IS possible !!!!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

John .... SHAZAM!!!!!!!!!!

You must be starving

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Sandee ..... oh dear

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Michelle ... I am working on NEXT Thursday's post right now. It is going to be quite terrific with Wendy's suggestions :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Mike: CHEERS !!!!!!!!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

DCR ... your car was sent to the address you provided. Maybe your mailbox was toooo small

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hi Summer !!! ... I drove by last night and left one on your patio :-)

wendy said...

Next Thursday's post IS going to be terrific.

I wanna see pics of the wedding.

I thought you WERE married?

No? In that case, we are setting up a round of "the Bachelor" ... blog style baby!

Just let me get through this weekend (I run a childrens' seminar this weekend) and then I am ALL OVER IT.

I'll be the MC. But how will we decide if people are submitting ACTUAL photos?

Some people (ahem point point) photo shop themselves up the wazoo.

And how will we know if they ACTUALLY own chickens? Why chickens? Only chicken owners will be considered. So ladies ... rush right out and get chickens. Live chickens. None of this foster farm frozen stuff, with feathers glued on... trying to fake out the judges.

Unless they are REALLY creative. Creative is good too.

This is going to be SO fun.

Oh. SHOULD I ask you if you want to play? ha ha ha. OK. Wanna play?

wendy said...

Specifically ... SPEEDY ... do you wanna play "The Bachelor, blog style?"

say yes say yes say yes!

This is going to be SO fun.

We will make up ridiculous things and maybe even launch chickens!

My mind is spinning with the possibilities.

wendy said...

Oooooh! And if we are quick enough, the winner can go to the drug store with you on Thursday!

wendy said...

(I can just see the chicken best man in the candy aisle and the flower chickens by the front doors, welcoming the crowds!)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

You are so FAST !!!!!!!!!!

I just ran here from Mexico ... up North

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Specifically ... SPEEDY ... do you wanna play "The Bachelor, blog style?"


YES !!!!!!!!!!


How do we start??? :-)

wendy said...

Let's e mail on Monday!!!

We'll hash out the details. and eat hash browns.

and maybe make drawings with hatch marks!

wendy said...

p.s. Welcome back from Mexico!

You should have stopped by! We'd go to Denny's.

wendy said...

wait ... Mexico up NORTH?

lolOLOLOLolOLol!!!

GOOFBALL.

Gotta go!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

DONE !!!!!


Launching chickens too? ... OHH JOY

This could be one of those things the blogospere talks about for ages, or a few days anyway ((smile))

Speedcat Hollydale said...

See you on Monday !!!!!!!!!!


YHA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Miss Moneypenny said...

Are the Blogging Bars open in Hollydale for online Bar hoppers? ;)

wendy said...

Looking forward to Monday ... hatching wild and crazy plans in the meanwhile.

heh heh.

Ladies? Anyone out chicken shopping yet? I suggest one that's aerodynamic.

How Is Solar Energy Used said...

I may have to go on a diet.

Hi Wendy, hi Moneypenny

Awake In Rochester said...

I really like this post. Good idea. I might do something similar. I use to talk about Rochester, but don't that much anymore.

$5 for all that? Did I see bacon? Wow!
