Must be Alice's Restaurant!

Yes- but he didn't foresee it being a case of blind justice.

Poor, poor Obie!

 

And yet, in the end, Obie won. Arlo was found guilty, forced to pay $50 and pick up the garbage in the snow. But while he lost the battle, Arlo later won the war....by not having to fight in it.

Interestingly, Alice Brock only owned the restaurant for one year, yet it's been famous for 43 years. Here's the sign to it today, and as you can see, it's still around the back!

 

Can you get anything you want at Theresa's Restaraunt? :/

 

Exceptin' Theresa!

 

I might not be remembering this correctly, but didn't the restaurant come along after the song? The restaurant didn't exist before the song.

 

No, Alice already had the restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant was not the name of the restaurant, it was the name of the song, and that's why he called the song Alice's Restaurant!

 

Right .. LOL. The restaurant wasn't actually called "Alice's Restaurant" until after the record came out.

 

Theresas resteraunt? That has no ring to it! You can get anything you want a Theresas resteraunt? Nope, no song opertunity in that, lol!!!

 

Come to think of it, a dump closed on Thanksgiving makes perfect sense!
