Hilariously bad business names...,and sharing good/bad Americana...

[Abodybomber]

About four years ago,was in Northern California on vacation. Always drive the back roads,looking for that "Americana feel". Near Oakhurst(?) see a bar, with the usual amount of Harley's out front. The interesting part: The business was named the " Dirty Donkey",& and the road sign was written on an white easel board,with erasable marker. Absolutely, my kind of place!(lol!).. My sister didn't feel like wise,so we compromised...
Share the strange Americana, you have run into...(I dare you,lol...)

We had a restaurant here many years ago called "sambo's". I think it might have been a national chain. I'll leave the icon image to your imagination. And how about the frito bandito.

Somewhere around Rolla MO (on I-40 I believe) is the Uranus Fudge Factory.. Got billboards along the highway and everything. They sell lots of T-shirts. My favorite said, "THE BEST FUDGE IN THE WORLD COMES FROM URANUS"...

The original Sambo's is still in business in Santa Barbara, CA. Here's their website: http://firstsince57.com/SambosOnTheBeach/
...and no, "Sambo" wasn't black, he was Indian like the children's book story. Check it out...http://www.oldlarestaurants.com/sambos/
I remember the restaurants...used to go there as a very young kid for pancakes before IHOP was even thought of.
