I don't make it to Ames often but these are the places I miss most.

Peoples
Cy's Roost
Those 4 connected bars in downtown Ames
The Fox Lounge

Hmmm. Those are all primarily drinking establishments.

For good measure, I'll add Great Plains Sauce and Dough so it looks like I occasionally did something besides drink.

Also, I haven't been to a basketball game in about 25 years. I miss Hilton.

Do-Biz, the DQ on Welch (wasn't open year round), Peoples, the Burger King around the corner from Peoples (bottomless pop made for a great study location), Ruttles (loved their shakes)

Not exactly sure.
Rocky Rococo's and their upstairs bar when you got $2.50 pitchers and they gave you 50 cents back to play pool or darts.....or as we did, figured after 4, we got a free pitcher if we didn't play any games.

So I checked, and Tork's is gone (long gone, I'm sure!) and in it's place is a joint called Thumbs. Also Dugan's Deli was half a block west of there, now called Mother's.

@jcyclonee, you and I seem to list the drinking establishments.....do you suppose we have a problem?

Buck burgers on Wednesday. Add a pitcher of beer and a couple of games of pool for good measure.
I played plenty of bad pool and foosball. I just don't remember there being food. I suppose there probably was food. I just don't remember eating there.

No problem. We did college right.

P.S. Don't tell my daughter that I said that.

Dugan's Deli, the only place to have real, brewed in Dublin, Guinness Extra Stout.

One pitcher would percolate well over an hour after being poured. Mother's milk.

(Edit: How could I forget Co-op Records and Tapes in Campustown!?!)

What was the name of Co-op Records after it was Co-op? It was at the same location, but had different ownership, Drawing a blank on the name (sad, since I went there a lot). Eventually it moved to Welch Ave. I can name at at least a dozen albums I bought there, but don't remember the name of the store.

It's been Thumbs since I was going to school there, and I started in 2001.

Must have been after my time. I don't remember them moving or changing names. I remember it being in that sort of run down building with several other businesses on the alley 1/2 block W of Welch Ave. It was one of my rewards of making it through another week of classes - I'd pop in there on a Friday afternoon and treat myself to something. Usually a $2.99 cut-out as that was a budget I could live with. Picked up Allman Brothers Eat A Peach(double LP) and the first 4 or 5 Byrds Albums in those bins.
