Ashley's closed last year. We ate at Genia Himes' restaurant a lot as newlyweds. Them she got the frozen food contract (was it with Betty Crocker?) and the restaurant went downhill.

The carpet was saturated with oil, as was everything else in the place. There's something special about eating wings with your date and watching German cockroaches crawl on the walls. Since I'm striking out on the OE and Tail Gator, how about the place in the 34th St. shopping center. What was it....Ashley's pub?? Fine college style Mexican and big margaritas. Next door was the Chinese joint owned by Genia Himes, never ate there, but she was the shadow owner of OE. Across Archer was some wing joint by the Winn Dixie...CJ's?? A major frat hangout. I think they hosed it down every night to wash out the puke smell. It was awful. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [[email protected] [1]] On Behalf Of [email protected] [2] Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 3:57 PM To: [email protected] [3] Subject: [gatortalk] Re: Gainesville restaurants I think Nellie's was different from Cassidy's. I remember eating at Cassidy's and walking a few steps over to Nellie's to finish the evening. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.

Nellie's was a major dump/dive, but had good hot wings. Cassady's had the biggest pizza for the buck. Still can't believe nobody has heard of the Tail Gator and Orient Express---located next to the Copper Monkey? Ed's BBQ was one of the finest joints in the south. Too bad it closed down.
