Back in the day, Foggy's Notion was one of THE bar/restaurants to
go after a night of good times, especially for students. Late night
cheap eats (for us) were the deciding factor. As I recall, we could
get a basket of fries for 25¢ and a burger for 50¢! Even Taco Bell
couldn't beat that deal!
The restaurant itself was pretty cool. It was a very large
building that was nearly a football field in length and three
stories high. Everything one can imagine was inside Foggy's Notion,
either hanging from the ceiling or against the wall. There was not
a bare square inch on the inside walls that wasn't covered by
something: post cards, business cards, photos, movie posters etc.
There was a fully assembled fire truck from the early 1900's
hanging from the roof! Even the tables were covered with stuff,
then clear coated over.
If you just wanted to drink and munch on the peanuts that was
okay, too. You just walked up to the Elephant, pulled his nose down
and filled your bowl. You needn't bother throwing the peanut shells
into the trash can. Just toss them on to the floor!
Sadly, this place was eventually razed and what is now Evan's
Tire & Service Center was built in it's place.
