• Sometimes you just get lucky. A couple of years ago I was attempting to visit all of the Cincinnati Denny's, but there was one in my Travel Guide that I just couldn't find. What was weird was that I had actually been there before and it wasn't where I would've bet money it had been. I even went to other Denny's in town and they looked at me like I had streams of blood pouring out of my ears when I asked about the Denny's on Ohio Pike. It wasn't until much later that I learned that there had indeed been a Denny's there, but it was shut down and turned into a Hooter's.
• But back to the luck. It turns out that, during one of my visits to it before it shut down, someone in my group took photos! And just last week she contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in seeing them! Yer damn tootin' right I want to see them! So not only do I get to write a review for the Lost Denny's, but I get to see a photo of Das Büs before the finished paint job. And now you can see it, too. Tho' actually, now that I think about it, there aren't any photos on these pages of the bus after the finished paint job. I suppose I should remedy that some day. But thanks to The Greek Goddess of Dawn for these wonderful photos! I'll never forget you!
• Moving on, I don't really remember much about this Denny's. But as you can tell from the photo, it was pretty funky looking inside. I remember where I sat, and that when I asked for my Moons Over My Hammy, I requested that the waitress "slop a little mayonnaise on that" (she put it on the side - damn her). And there was also some suuuuuuuuuuuuuave guy from England, who had a raincoat, a fine tailored suit, and a scarf. He looked like he just stepped out of GQ, and so was very out of place at Denny's. I think we talked with him, but I don't remember what came of it. Those of us there were pretty much either hung over or in various states of sobriety, so even with our collective recollection, that's about all we could dig up. But it sure is cool to write an entry for a Denny's that doesn't even exist any more.
• Oh, and on a side note. I called up the Denny's on Colerain to see if they could help me track down the store number for this establishment, and after a rather confusing conversation with the person who answered the phone (at first she thought I wanted the street address, then she thought I wanted the phone number, then she thought I wanted the 800 number, then she thought I wanted the address for her store... I don't think she ever realized what I was talking about), she gave the phone to her manager who basically said "that was a franchise store, and we're corporate owned, so I can't help you - goodbye." So I called up 1-800-7-DENNYS and asked if they could help me (since I had the Travel Guide, I knew the address and phone number of the store in question), and they were able to give me the information easy as pie. So if you haven't yet, be sure to give the lovely people at Denny's's PR line a ring, if for nothing else than to say hello.
