I think a part of our city died this week.
The Acme was one of those places everyone has been to at some point in their life.

Tell me it ain't so Mike, tell me it ain't so.

Wow, This sure brings back memories for me. I can't say for sure if its the same place or not, but when I was growing up, we alway stoped in Fort Wayne for breaded tenderloin on our way "down home". That's what my parents called it when we would go from Michigan down to southern Indiana to visit family.
Thanks for the clip. Those were special times.

Filled with tableside jukeboxes and vinyl booths, Acme is among the last neighborhood taverns in Fort Wayne, Tapp said. Taverns were popular meeting spots in the 1940s and 1950s, but he said the crowds have dwindled in the last decade.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.journalgazette.net/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090131/BIZ13/301319941">Six employees, including Wallace, will lose their jobs when the restaurant closes, Tapp said.
