Now they're tearin' down my Burger King!

    First they closed my childhood Kmart and now they're tearing down my neighborhood Burger King. My childhood neighborhood Burger King. My later-childhood neighborhood Burger King. (There was an A&W Root Beer at more or less this location during my early childhood.) Truth to tell, I was much more a Dairy Queen kind of boy, and didn't get into Burger King until my college years. And this Burger King has been out of business for at least a year or two. The outfit that owns the Burger King franchise in this area is mostly in the gas and convenience store business and this location, though right next to a gas/convenience store, is free-standing. It may be that they're going to expand the place next door and put in a Burger King, or it may be that they're just giving up on the neighborhood. Being gluten-free boy, I'm hardly likely to take up eating there again, so it's not like it affects me personally. I guess it's just a drag seeing something else from my childhood dry up and blow away. Unless of course they put in a new A&W Root Beer of course.
