Greenville lungers.....quick lunch advice needed.
Apr 2, 2021, 12:03 PM
|
|
Picking my 94yo grandfather up and taking him for a ride to get him out of the house. On a normal spring day I’d get some takeout and go eat outdoors somewhere. He already had covid in Dec so I’m not aiming for boy in the bubble levels of sterilization, but don’t want Willy taco crowded either. Any suggestions near Laurens/Augusta with fairly isolated/spaced tables?

for lunch when we visit is going to the hospital cafeteria to eat. Not like we're there to pick them up from an appointment and we grab lunch there because it's convenient.
We will actually have to leave their home, get in the horse-less carriage, drive past numerous free standing restaurants and intentionally navigate to the hospital in order to eat the lunch buffet in the cafeteria. They think it's the best food in town.

first summer job was in the #2 weave room at the Ft Mill Plant. Family vacation was at the Springmaid Villa, friends and I would drive to Springmaid Beach a couple times a year. First job out of CU was in the Auditing Dept in Lancaster. Is very likely we know the same people.

on Hwy 9 between Lancaster and Fort Lawn for 35 years and retired from there. She did the punch card thingy before computers became mainstream. She actually is the first person in my family who got "The INternet" back in the 90s and I consider her an inspiration for having a career in web/software development and engineering.
I am from Lancaster CUintulsa®.

My buddy is one of the owners and let us have their secondary dining room to ourselves since the lunch rush had passed. Ultimate social distancing.
Do appreciate all the suggestions though, and I hope you appreciate me following lunge protocol by taking none of them.

They moved to Greer when he retired because his son was here running the restaurant.
He might be the manager instead of one of the owners never really knew for sure.
Didn't get to party on a houseboat but did get to go all through Air Force 1 and sit in the president's chair.
