No no no silly goose.  Wally's Burgers.

  "Wally's Burgers is one of the last of the true drive-in fast food restaurants in Vancouver. The restaurant's neon sign was only part of a once more elaborate display, with neon on the exterior of the building as well."



*cry*  I grew up with Wallys.  Best burgers EVER.  For some reason I remember Russ talking about Wally's.  (I might be way off base here)

LOL. No way. That place has been around like forever. Poor Russ. He better get his Wally Burger fix before it goes away.

  We've always wanted to try that place but never got the nerve. Somehow the fast food joint seems a bit..... dirty.

   No. Only fools would to be honest cause theres too much traffic and pedestrians all time of the night now.

  The place I heard is the place to race now is on annacis island.

Even if you don't like burgers, go for one last milkshake! This institution is more important to Vancouver than UBC! (ok, maybe in dream fast food world).

*dusts off profile* A hoy hoy guys. What's goin' on in this thread?

Russ = Russ from DV = Orik's friend? Just curious

Post by: Russ on Feb 29 08 08:16
Hey Goatsee... yeah this is Russ from DV. I think I met you one time with Orik?

    I agree BC'er lol. Its more an icon of the 'old' fastfood world. Its more nostalgia than anything.. the food has gone to the dumps the last number of years.

was listening to radio 1 or whatever the cbc radio station is called and Wally's ran out of food for lunch. They had to close to then re-open for dinner hours, due to food shortages. that's amazing.

That is amazing, since their food sucks. Guess one last bite of nostalgia are what people are going for. Now if they could just get rid of every other fast food place, Vancouver would not be half bad!
