CBS Refugee Lakers Roll Call Thread!!!

Hey guys, this may be a bit off topic but it seems you guys know this area. Anyway, in '91 I was working graves at the Long Beach Navel Shipyard and almost every night we would cross the draw bridge and eat at this awesome place for breakfast. It was cheap and there was no way you could eat it all in one sitting. I think the name had Star in it............this has been bugging the shit out of me for a few years now (I kon't know why) but does that ring a bell with any of you guys? I tried google but no such luck.

What kind of food is/was it? Know the street?

What kind of food is/was it? Know the street?

Lol.......so I looked at a map and as far as I can tell it was either in the south part of Long Beach or in Wilmington. It was like a mom and pops type place and seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere............open 24 hours. I just remember we would leave from the shipyard and go over a draw bridge but I don't remember if we went over the VTB..........food was pretty much anything you wanted but breakfast was huge! Steak and eggs, ham and eggs, you name it they had it. If I was guessing the street I would say Alameda or Anaheim...............

BRS, that's gotta be it! Man, next time I go visit moms I'm headed there. If you guys are ever in the neighborhood (probably won't be as it seemed to be in the middle of nowhere) you should try it. Keep in mind it's been a good 20 years but it was the shit! Thanks man.

Mighty, Mighty Boston Celtics Fan Here. Standing 6 foot 3 and maybe a quarter of an inch bigger than last year but still a unique figure. Two hundred pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal. The whores bore me, hot bitches adore me. You're talking to The Man To Beat but ONLY The Man can beat me. The one, the only, the infinite, Skee-Town's finest, C-Rock the #1 stunner, numbers and gun runner. I submit to you, yours truly - Crotchrocker. Its you for whom the bell tolls. Ding, ding. Word.

It is a nod to the upcoming season of Arrested Development which the wifey and I will marathon when it comes out on Netflix. AD is one of the funniest comedies ever. It is sort of a cult comedy as it didn't gain much traction when it originally aired.
