Without research I can't attest to the exact age of these establishments
and I have stated before that I'm a lazy man in a too busy world and frankly
I'm not going to bother. They are however, independent businesses that have
been around a long time ( before I was born, which is a long time now. Shouldn't
prod me like this right after my birthday):
Gusse Hardware
Franks Plumbing Supply
Schneiders Drug
Bryant Hardware
Market BBQ
Stub and Herbs
House of Hanson
A number of the West Bank Bars have been functioning as such since it was
known as Snoose Blvd.
Murray's

I think Hardware stores and Bars tend towards longevity. I guess if you
offer the necessities

On Market BBQ, I've not returned since I received virtually the same
treatment a couple of years ago. The service was surly when and if the waitress
showed up. I was served cold, congealing ribs which, when I complained were
obviously just thrown in a microwave and reheated. I've never received such food
or service anywhere else in my memory. The big difference is that the manager
comped our meals when I found him. I've still got a coupon for two free meals
if anyone wants it.
I do tend to agree that a full complaint process should be followed
before anything as drastic as a boycott takes place. Market is a venerable place
and might just be in need of new ownership/management. They used to be great.
Oh yeah, got another one: Ted Cooks Nineteenth Hole BBQ over on 38th.
I've always thought that applewood
smoke was the best BBQ in town. That's been there for maybe forty years or
more.

TEMPORARY REMINDER:
1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject
(Mpls-specific, of course.)
