feel. > There's a Hardee's in that part of town but no other fast food places;
An interesting choice. Does it look like a fast-food place, or
Yes, very much like a fast food place.
I was kind of surprised by this so looked it up. It
had been my impression that the site was in the old
town, but pictures indicate that it's a lot more town
than old, and there are tons of commercial buildings
there, so what's one fast food joint. Now my only
surprise is that there's just the one.
did the company have to design a culturally-appropriate outlet
such as McDonald's has had to in various historic districts?
They also had to disguise themselves on Hilton Head Island. No, Hardee's
did not have to disguise themselves. They fit nicely in with the rest of
the area they're in.
So I see, and my impression is corrected.
they're spread thruout the newer parts of town. Nice, actually, that
we > aren't overrun with the fast food places in part of WF.
Oh, I certainly agree.
Definatly not like some of the places we've lived in. (G) Our girls said
that one of their high school teachers in Sierra Vista always referred
to the main street in town (Fry Blvd) as "French Fry Blvd" for all the
fast food places along it. Said that you could raise your cholesterol by driving down the street with your window open.
Just as likely that as by eating the stuff.
Downside > to C-F-A is that they took their carrot raisin salad off
the menu a few > years ago and subbed in a "superfoods" salad with a
lot of kale,
That's too bad. Trying to appeal to a crowd that it will
never crack.
Maybe they'll go back to the carrot-raisin salad once they realise it
was a better seller.
Time and profit-loss statements will tell.
including a lot of stem sections. It's ok but I'd rather have the
carrot
And what a nasty-sounding choice.
That's your opinion and you're sticking to it; ours is contrary. (G)
Kale with lots of stems? I'm surprised.
want the bun. I did read a while back that they are test marketing
spicy > strips but we've not been to a C-F-A in a while to verify it. I'd put my "dough" behind Popeye's in any case.
Agreed, they are better but they're also further away. We have C-F-A
within 2 or 3 miles, nearest Popeye's is down in Raleigh, probably about 15-18 miles away. It doesn't make sense to go there if the rest of our
"run around" is in WF.
If there were a Church's closer by, that might get some
of my business, but with no Popeye's within striking
distance, I'd just as soon no chicken as KFC or CFA.
Don't know, but once you cross Captial Blvd from South Main you're actually in North Raleigh.
Which from your context I gather is part of Raleigh proper?
Technically, yes but it feels more like WF. It's an area known as
Wakefield.
I'd have hoped it were called Wakeleigh!
I think we were able to use our HT cards last year in KY, don't
remember > for sure or not. Do know we spent enough to get a gas
credit (which we > used) so I think they did honor the HT cards.
People have had mixed success using Giant cards at S&S; seems
likely that one can get the discount but perhaps not the points.
We've not encountered a S&S so not had the chance to try using our Giant
card there.
If you weigh the evidence offered by Chowhound, Thrillist, and
the local media, you should be able to get an idea where to look.
Yelp and especially Trip Advisor, not so much.
We usually just check places out on our own--have gone to some places reccommended by the N&O restaurant critic and been disappointed in them.
What's his or her batting average been?
time we've been here. The Raleigh sprawl will eventually overtake
more > and more of the area.
Will it take over quick enough to save New Tokyo?
Hard to tell, it's possible. Plans are to widen Capital, make it more of
a limited access highway from Raleigh to north of WF. Not sure how far
north they're planning but it might go that far.
In that case, the question is likely no unless there's a
clientele that isn't obvious to the naked eye.
