Farewell, Fribbles: Post Your Memories of Friendly's on Patch

Some of the items on menu have been around for decades — Jim Dandy, anyone? — and others, such as the Friend-z, are fairly new. What will you miss most when the 76-year-old restaurant chain closes its store in West Hartford Center?

Did you celebrate your birthday at Friendly's or make a tradition out of going there after school concerts? Did you love the burgers and hate the fries, or vice-versa?

Do you remember when the restaurant first opened in West Hartford Center, way before Ben & Jerry's moved in down the street.

We invite you to share your memories and comments about the loss of a longtime Center business on Patch.
