lost atlanner

the silver grill (not to be confused with the silver skillet on 14th st.) opened in 1945 and was a landmark for over 60 years --- family owned and operated, kevin was a third generation behind the counter, chatting it up with the customers --- the building wasn't much to look at, except for the neon, and although it was renovated occasionally, it was never enlarged --- great cholesterol-ridden breakfasts, meat-and-three, the best fried chicken in the universe


and dear peg, who knew all her gay boys by name --- and wasn't askeered to serve them when they started dying in the fearful early days of the plague ---











and its all being replaced by faux mexican out of peachtree city and newnan!
