Speaking of fast food places:
Kangaroo visits Wisconsin McDonald's
Posted: Feb 04, 2015 2:35 AM CST
BEAVER DAM (WKOW) -- A Beaver Dam police officer says he's
quite certain he's never responded to a call like the one he
handled recently at a McDonald's restaurant.
Officer Rich Dahl responded to an anonymous complaint about a
woman who brought a kangaroo into McDonald's. Dahl said Tuesday
the woman had the baby kangaroo wrapped in a blanket and tucked
in an infant car seat.
Dahl says when he confronted the woman she explained the
kangaroo was a service animal to help her cope with emotional
distress and she produced a letter from a doctor.
The officer says the woman was upset at first, but then agreed
to leave the restaurant.
The three month old kangaroo's owner, Diana Moyer, tells 27
News it was "...no big deal" to be forced to leave McDonald's
with the pet named "Jimmy."
But Moyer says she has no intention to leave her kangaroo at
home. "I'll continue to take (kangaroo) with me," she tells 27
News.
Police detective Ryan Klaveskoske says authorities have a
different view of this exotic animal's acceptable habitat.
"We've had lengthy discussions with these individuals and
our city attorney about the ordinance as it relates to a service
animal in the city of Beaver Dam," Klaveskoske tells 27 News.
"Certainly we're mindful of that fact, but feel that a kangaroo,
at least under our city ordinance, is not an animal that would
fall as a service animal."
Moyer refers to the kangaroo as a "companion" animal, and
says that distinction will help to continue to keep him close to
her, even in public. Klaveskoske says officers will be prepared
to issue citations, and even make arrests, if this kangaroo
appears again in a restaurant, retail store, or similar
establishment.
Officials with the state department of agriculture, trade
and consumer protection say if the owner of a kangaroo in
Wisconsin has the animal's import permit, and a certificate of
veterinary inspection, the animal can be in the state.
Officials say permits on eight kangaroos and wallabys were filed
with the state over the last fourteen months.
Moyer says "Jimmy" was acquired from a zoo north of Green
Bay. Moyer and her husband have two, adult kangaroos as well,
and other animals on their property in the town of Calamus.

just a street as they say. Way back when Robbie's sold horse
burgers.

That Pizza Hut had a fireplace right in the center of the dining
area. It was nice and warm in there. That place had some
atmosphere. It had a supper club feeling to it . Not the cold
school cafetera feeling the new one has. I wish it was till
there. The pizza tasted better then it does now days also.

The Robby's {it was spelled with y} building sat in the north
east corner of the Hardies parking lot. Right next to the
service road. I still have a white porcelain Robbys ashtray with
an image of the restaurant on it.
And that building was Sandy's.
The first KFC building became a Lee's Famous Chicken. After KFC
moved to their second location which sits directly south of the
Country Freckles store.

circa 1985 Bacon Cheeseburger? That was my favorite, lettuce,
tomato and no onions. Big but not to big. Then they replaced it
with something with a hoagie shaped bun and then the Monster.
This last one has since been upgraded to Thick Burger status and
the new Fresh Baked Buns. I think Hardees has taken the idea of
"go big or go home" way to far. :o

The only thing I can stomach at McDonalds is a Big Mac. Must be
the special sauce. I can't eat anything else there.
My first choice for burgers in Rapids is Hardies.
Second is Chips.
For fast and cheap and still edible it is Checkers.

I remember going to Robbies for french fries, lol. I lived
about 12 blocks behind there near where the HS is now. That was
back when 8th was 2 lanes.
The Chiro office was Sandies, before that it was Sambo's IIRC.
Bill Foerster owned it, later opened Foersters.
KFC was where Little Caesars is now. The fish in with KFC was
H. Salt Fish & Chips.
Here's an ad for the KFC/H Salt combo from the Tribune in 1975:

Red Owl and Holiday, lol. Both long gone.

As I recall Sambos was in the building that now has Palarmos
Pizza. And Pizza Hut was in there before they moved to their
present location.

I think you're right. I bet you remember Hokamp's and
Peterson's market too, lol.
So... what was the restaurant on 8th in the stone front building
that had Plexiglas panels in the floor to look down at the
creek? The building is still there..can't remember what's in
there now.
