Wow - I didn’t know that. I always assumed Engineer’s bookstore has been on west campus forever.Juniors Grill on the left, North Ave - across from Smith, circa 1982.
Go have a frosted orange and some scattered and smothered and let your mind be open to the wonders around you.Wow - I didn’t know that. I always assumed Engineer’s bookstore has been on west campus forever.
Good memories of eating there w/my Dad. Place was packed out and the food was great.Juniors Grill on the left, North Ave - across from Smith, circa 1982.
Juniors at the Tower was fine, but kind of a pale imitation of what it was back in the day. I was in school and living in Smith when they bulldozed the North Ave. location for the Olympic dorms - a very sad day, as we ran across the street to eat over there a lot. Some friends and I rescued/liberated their sign after the building was torn down. It lived in my dorm room until I graduated, then got passed down a couple of generations until the hall council finally had it mounted and gave it back to Tommy to display in the restaurant. I miss getting to go visit that sign every once in a while.Juniors moved? Where was it originally?
When I was in school (88-94), Engineer's was on North Ave., the GT bookstore was in the student center mall, and West Campus Bookstore was in that strip mall at 10th and Hemphill. West Campus closed a long time ago, the GT bookstore moved to Tech Square, and Engineer's moved over to Marietta St. and eventually closed.Wow - I didn’t know that. I always assumed Engineer’s bookstore has been on west campus forever.

I wonder what happened to the stuff that was in the restaurant when it closed - they had that sign, a 1990 Citrus Bowl goalpost segment, and some cool old aerial photos of campus.

The thing is that I've never lived in the rural South. All my experience is in metro Atlanta. There are too many good options in Atlanta.
Yes. I walked the Hill to 8am classes. It was uphill both ways. In 3 feet of snow. And wore newspaper on our feet because we didn't have shoes. And we had no girls on campus. And I got a 7 out of 100 on my Calculus test, which was fine because the class average was 6. And 90% of students failed Physics II. And 100% of students lost HOPE in their first week on campus. And we had to watch Chan Gailey football. Kids these days don't know how good they have it.
Junior's was behind Tech Tower, wasn't it?
ftfySo the "real Juniors" just depends on where you did post-midterm sulking over chicken tenders.
What was the sub shop I think next to juniors late 70s? Ate a lot of steak and cheese subs from there to avoid eating Varsity every day?I did a quick Google. It looks like Junior's was across Techwood from Smith/Brown from 1948-1967. Then it moved to across North Ave from Smith from 1967-1993. Then it moved to Tech Tower from 1994 - 2011. So the "real Juniors" just depends on when you went to Tech.

Tech has not been "real" since they eliminated drownproofing as a requirement, so there's that.I did a quick Google. It looks like Junior's was across Techwood from Smith/Brown from 1948-1967.

Pero's was up at the corner of North Ave. and Tech Parkway/Luckie in my experience.Pero’s ??
