I remember it being billed as the largest college bar in the nation. Not sure if that was true or not, but they did have two completely different clubs within it with the funk side and the beach music side.

where was the Hardees? The one way out in Cary on Hillsborough that just permanently closed? Or one nearer campus?
Hardees was on Hillsborough in front of University Towers. There is a 3-4 story residential over commercial building there now. Hardees was just east of where Zaxby’s is now.

I would’ve sworn that Hardee’s was in the building Zaxbys is currently in.
Swanson’s was in that building.

You’re right. I don’t remember this building, but this was there according to the Google (Sept 2007)

Ohhh wow!! I had completely forgotten about that place.
Swensen’s. Swanson made your TV dinner.
When we moved to Raleigh, one of things that I missed from CA the most was not having a Farrell’s Ice Cream.

Sakura Express my friend, I hate to admit I once borrowed a painting off the wall and displayed it in my dorm room. Don’t worry I returned it the day we moved out of UT.

Arby’s was further down the street. It was torn down not long ago. The building was a Swenson when it was built. I worked on Pullen Road and often drove there for ice cream. This would have been in the late 70’s or early 80’s. The asian restaurant came later.

I really miss the two cafeteria options that used to be in the old Cameron Village.
“serve you meat?”
“salat”
Those were my two favorite things to hear at K&W.

My brother gave me this NC State official map from 1970. Back then Raleigh had ZERO interstate highways and one of the last capital cities in the lower 48 to not have an interstate link. Fast forward now Wake County has 4 interstate highways I-40, I-87, I-440 and I-540. Notice there was no freeway link to RTP or Durham back that year though some were under construction.
