I will admit PROUDLY that I am a ""life member"" of eating at Jumpin' Jack's Drive-In for over 40 years! \r
I have been to EVERY opening day on the sometimes (and often) cold, snowy and always windy days before 11:00am in March since 1968... except for ONE, while I was making a ""Med Cruise"" with the Navy in 1978. * Serving my country was the ONLY way I missed that one!!! \r
\r
My friends and I started back in 1968 from Central Park Junior High, as it was called ... then later from Linton High as it was called then..and then even from Bishop Gibbons, as it was JUST called then\r
( but we would date somone from Norte Dame, as it was called then..right Pam?? And you know who you are ;o) But no matter what school or even later in life with the jobs that have been held, we always went to hang out at ""JJ's (as we call it to this day) and the fun never ends! \r
\r
I can't think of a greater place to go to just mingle, talk (while in line) with friends and make new friends too... and get great food! The ambiance of the river and the park is worth the trip!\r
\r
And now that they have since added the concerts at Freedom Park, it's even better \r
(although I still argue anyone EATING at Jumpin' Jack's SHOULD be the ONLY one's allowed to be parking there- right Scotia P.D.?? GRRR ) but that's also part of the mystique of going there too! \r
But it is well worth the wait for the parking spot ...and the food! ;o)\r
\r
Now if they only sold those infamous JJ's Tee-Shirts & Hats with the year printed on them that employees wear for the PUBLIC to buy & wear!!! ???\r
...They would be collectibles for sure....& FREE advertisement too!! Do you hear me JJ""s???? HINT! Maybe sell them with portions of the proceeds going to a local charity, hmmm?\r
\r
But just get out to Scotia soon and try Jumpin' Jack's for the food & ice cream and become one of THOUSANDS who enjoy it as much as I do! Well almost,...because I am the Number ONE Fan! ;o) \r
\r
~ JIm :o) D' VUT BEEP LIVES ON!
Pros: EVERYTHING FOOD WISE IS GREAT!
Cons: ATTENTION SCOTIA P.D. ~ THE PARKING SHOULD BE FOR EATING CUSTOMERS ONLY & NOT FOR THE PARK GO-ERS WHO TAKE UP ALL THE SPOTS!! GRRRR
