The Landing is GONE! UPDATE WITH PICS

Postby weimhunter » Wed Mar 23, 2005 3:18 pm

Thought some of you guys that went to MSU would like to know that the Landing burned down this weekend. Man, I had alot of good times in that place. One of the coolers had a electric short and caught fire. There is hardley anything left.

Please excuse me while I cry.................
I can remember in the early 90's buying cases of miller beer there for $8. It would be high life in a can - the stuff no one would drink and they couldn't sell. I don't even know why they had it. I think it was a good ole boy deal. My roommate knew a guy that worked there.

Where was the landing? Anywhere out near where Crossroads, LinLou's, and the Triangle Club used to be back in the day?

Crow, it was about a mile north of the Crossroads on 45 alt.

I dated a girl for a while that worked there around 96-97. Got many a beer "on the house".

The Triangle was across the road in the early 70's. GDI's went to LinLou's, greeks went to the Triangle. Me, I was a tweener! I went wherever the women's said to go! Loved those fried dill pickles at LinLou's though!

Ah....glory days!

Now do y'all really believe that the landing burning was an accident?? I don't know that if it was or not, but whoever compared the Landing to Flo's is crazy. Those two places were night and day. Flo's burned down by accident also :shock:
