Farewell, Fribbles: Post Your Memories of Friendly's on Patch

Will you be sad to see it go, or did it outstay its welcome in West Hartford Center?

Some of the items on menu have been around for decades — Jim Dandy, anyone? — and others, such as the Friend-z, are fairly new. What will you miss most when the 76-year-old restaurant chain closes its store in West Hartford Center?

Did you celebrate your birthday at Friendly's or make a tradition out of going there after school concerts? Did you love the burgers and hate the fries, or vice-versa?

Do you remember when the restaurant first opened in West Hartford Center, way before Ben & Jerry's moved in down the street.
