Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday
Typical Ruby Tuesday, likely in Connecticut. Another Mike Mozart masterpiece.

 Ruby Tuesday are a restaurant chain named after a Rolling Stones hit, and unlike Keith Richards, they have had locations that didn't last forever. CNY, WNY, the Capital Region, Southern Tier, Hudson Valley, downstate (I'll just put a couple because it'll take too long) and North Country have all had over a dozen out of hundreds nationwide close, and only the East Syracuse one is still in operation in CNY. I can still picture the pumpernickel croutons in the salad bar. Goodbye, Ruby Tuesdays. Who can hang another name on them? When they change with every new day. Still, we're gonna miss them.
