Places around Clemson today's students will never know about

What are some iconic places in and around Clemson that students of today will never know about?
I can think of a few:
-Pitchers
-Rockhoppers (trivia night on Thursdays)
-Hardees (the perfect spot to pick up a quick breakfast or box of chicken, even on gamedays)
-Tigertails (I never went, but I drove by it a bunch, and used it as a punchline a few times)
-Explorers (hottest wings known to man -- I cleared a plate then puked them up on demand one night)
-The Astro movie theater
-Beezers subs (place an order online from your dorm, pay $1.50, and BOOM, they're delivered...no wonder they went out of business)
What else ya got?

store is the old Pizza Hut.I am not crazy about PH in general but for whatever reason I loved that in the summertime the old PH was always dark and cool and I would stop by on hot summer afternoons to chill out , cool down and eat pizza and have a cold drink.The place was old though lol.Who knows what the dark hid!

I still stop by Mac's every time I come to Clemson expecting to see him. It makes me sad every time. I'm glad that Pat has done such a great job keeping it like it was over the pat several decades.

Used to do our tailgating at Explorer's....

I think they would sell their parking spots for the season for something like $500. At the beginning of the semester (when we all had money from working summer break) a bunch of us would pool our money and buy a parking spot. One of my roommates families would buy the spot next to it. We'd pull a truck in one spot and set up the tents and grill and chairs in the other. Lord those were some fun times.
And those wings...my wife (girlfriend at the time)and I went into Explorer's during halftime of one of the games....I ordered I think a dozen of those wings and a pitcher of beer. Well my wife may or may not have been 21 at the time so she couldn't drink, so I polished off a full pitcher of beer and those insanely hot wings. Spent the second half with my belly full and on absolute fire. Never made that mistake again.

I still remember my dad happening to be in the area one day and he and I meeting for lunch between classes at Explorers. I got the wings...and boy did I feel it for the rest of the day. I ordered a medium heat, and I swear the outside of my mouth was on fire the rest of the day. ^_^

BigCU, sounds like we were there at the same time! (story)

I was at Y beach one Saturday afternoon and started flirting with a very attractive blonde gal. We hung out a while and I asked her why I had never seen her before. She said she was just there visiting her brother, so I naturally asked "who's your brother"? She said Danny Triplett and that's when I left! 
Lot's of fun was had!!

I remember they had bean bag chairs in that bar. I watched the Giraldo episode in which his nose was broken by a chair.

Hey I'm with you . You must be an old guy , too. I spent my freshman orientation at The Study Hall watching the two topless dancers.
I worked a few months making pizzas for Bess at Capri's . I remember a guy named Lou who ran the Esso station . I also remember writing a check to Hardee's for $ 1.79 .

Yes, it was Edgars. I liked it but it wasn't considered "cool" and not many people went there when I was in school. Tiger Town Tavern was the "it" place, but it was so crowded and so loud it was hard to enjoy it there.
Also, we lived in the pre-fabs for two semesters. I wouldn't consider those iconic, but they have a special meaning to me as I spent my freshman year there.
