Also at Southgate was a

Mr. Quick hamburger stand. <<<<<<

That building still exists, though you'd hardly recognize it now. Mr. Quick's had cool neon.
There was another one on Oracle Road near Amphi High School. I never went there because that's where the hoods hung out. Sometimes I went to Wienerschnitzel, which is still there since the 1960s.
In the '60s, the main hamburger stand chains were Burger Chef and Sandy's. A hamburger, french fries and a milkshake were 15 cents each -- total of 45 cents. When I was in junior high, I heard that Lucky Wishbone sold hamburgers for a quarter, and I couldn't believe they could charge such a high price.
You know the Boondocks Lounge on First Avenue north of Fort Lowell? The back part of it used to be a Burger Chef, and they added on to the front. Another hamburger joint in that area was the Triple BBB drive-in at First Avenue and Roger Road. That building still exists too -- they added on to the front of it, and it became a large liquor store.

Oh wow, all those places bring back a lot of digested
burgers and cherry cokes in the day. Lucky Wishbone
was and is still a favorite of our family. Something
about their burgers was different, maybe the mustard
type relish they used? I can still remember when my
husband and I introduced our boys to the deep fried
shrimp (MOM and POP sizes) simple food but was a
bargain and we usually fought over the last toasted
bread slice. One thing I really miss is EEGEE's since
we are located in Alabama for the time being, no other
place than Tucson sells it that I know of. One year
for a surprise I sent a frozen ice chest of EEGEE's to
my daughter-in-law when they were stationed at Camp
Pendleton in Oceanside Calif from Tucson. She has
never forgot that. She misses it to.
