  1. I saw The Boomtown Rats at the Palladium in February 1980...then I went to Disco Donuts and ate a bear claw and an apple fritter, because my metabolism still worked. Those were the days.

  3. @Gojira: I used to live across the street from Disco Donut! (In 1981, in fact.)

    I loved going there after midnight; I miss that place.

  5. I miss the Disco, too. Lived diagonally, northeast, across from it, next to an adult video story in '86.
