    Do any of you recognize the building in my Avatar? I'm sure there must be a few of you who will. If no one gets it right away, I'll add some hints.

    Nope, not either of those, but good guesses. It is a pizza place, but I'm looking for a specific name.

    My Michigan address is a red herring. The place in question is farther east and south.

    Definitely not the original Shakey's Pizza Parlor - which was founded on the corner of 57th and J street in Sacramento.
    It was our high school hangout after games, dances, etc. That was a great place! Live music on most nights. Funky interior.
    It's gone now. :( Just like Tower Records - another Sacramento original. :( :( :( Is nothing sacred anymore? :rolleyes:

    I like the saloon / lemonade stand. That seems to work.

    I guess they'd have to serve Mike's there... ;)

    That last hint gave it away.
    It's Miguel's Pizza in Kentucky!

    You can do a Google image search (miguel's pizza) to see some clearer pics of the logo on the front of the building.

    Bingo - Give the man a cigar! It's the best (and only) pizza place in the Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky. Miguel's is half pizza parlor and half climbing equipment store. The place is a favorite of rock climbers who come from all over the world to enjoy the RRG's overhung sandstone. Many climbers camp out back amid the mud, goats, slacklines, and testosterone charged young climbers.
