Glen got talked in to buying one of those "coupon books" from a former golf student, so we have to use it until we get our $20 investment back. I looked through it 3 times before I found something I thought would be worthy of the drive out there. Brandon had told me about Stonewall Pizza years ago. He said he wanted to eat there if he ever figured out how to get there. You can see it across the 35 right of way, but you obviously can't get there directly. Well, a few years later (I know...) we realized it is right on Pflumm St. in Lenexa, Ks, established in 1978 and successful all these years later. We stopped to try it out that day, but we were too early in the day and then never got over there again. We noticed there is also a Stonewall Inn in the same lot whose specialty is pan-fried chicken, (I'm thinking this could be another Strouds!).
Long story short, we chose the Stonewall Inn coupon and headed out. Although it wasn't even 5:00, there were lots of cars in the parking lot. People were sitting outside eating pizza and drinking beer or at the Inn eating fried chicken. The inside of the inn was rustic and homey, with a dining room, bar area, and a large outdoor patio.
I ordered the fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and green beans. Glen had the special, fried fish and chips. We agreed the food was good and we left just as the place was filling up. We also agreed that we would come back and try Stonewall pizza so we could tell Brandon whether it was as good as he had heard, although, he doesn't much care anymore.
Sure I care, actually after I spoke on the phone I remembered it, and I'm curious once again to try the pizza.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what the significance of the Stonewall Inn is in the history of the gay rights movement? If not, you really ought to get to a PFLAG meeting ASAP and educate yourself! I was surprised you didn't mention anything about it in this blog, so you must not know... If you need a starting place, just wikipedia "Stonewall Inn."
