Wendy's started in downtown Columbus in 1969 in honor of Dave Thomas' daughter. Her 6' by 6' portrait hangs on the wall inside the restaurant. A picture is a thousand words in this case.
The combination restaurant/museum even has a bronzed potato given to Dave for his business.
To celebrate the 38 wonderful years in Columbus, we decided to go visit the Wendy's and partake in burgers and Frostys. In this shot, Livia said I looked like Chunk's friend from the Goonies. I couldn't decide which was colder---the comment or the Frosty and so I have on my "thinking face".
The wisecracking Livia is pictured with B - notice the gigantic cheeseburger built into the wall.
Right before we left, we took a family picture in front of an ancient uniform worn by Wendy's employees. Also, you can see that M, indeed, was there with us. There were approximatly twenty men walking around with cameras taking pictures. One guy even bought a full size tripod and camera bag. The pose pictured below was the shot everyone was taking.
It was a rainy night that befitted the funeral of a treasured American icon. Pictured is Maya and me walking off into the distance - never again to set foot in the...Original Wendy's.

When I heard about the original Wendy's closing, I said, "WHY??" So good of you all to pay your last respects. We are excited about seeing everyone this weekend!
