Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Counter Service, OnceNorm-I meant to ask you about this one.This is a detail that I never noticed.Counter service at the Meadow(s) Trading Post was long gone before my first visit to the Fort.So, this is on the side facing the 600 loop- I think that is the 900 loop bus stop in the distance. Am I right?What was served from this window?And, what did this corner of the Trading Post, which now displays miscellaneous crap for sale, look like on the inside? Was there a counter in there too?If there are any Old Forts reading along, you can take a shot at providing this information too.Thanks.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Counter Service, OnceTCD the meadows at one point had a full service Deli. I think thats the walkup window. But that was before the opened the pool area Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But that was before the opened the pool areaTodd- I knew you would remember this. So, what was it like inside the Trading Post, then? There must have been food prep equipment in this area. I think you have in the past mentioned that you could have deli meat sliced there. And soft serve ice cream. Was the inside set up like a deli? Was there a counter inside too? Boy it sure would be nice to have something like this now!TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 It was set up like Publix deli a meat cooler you could see all the meat. If you ordered a sandwich they would cut the meat right in fort of you and make your sandwich. Not like today where they just pull premade stuff out of a cooler Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was curious about the history, too. I was hoping, though, that it was older. By your description, the deli sounds fairly recent.What really makes this thread is the captions- "in character" Hysterical.So you got it! I was worried no one would.
