I didn't expect nearly that much attention. <br /><br />I heard about Taco Tico's rebirth in Lexington. The most exiting part of which is the former Arby's that's set to be the site of the new location was originally built as a G.D. Ritzy's. In fact, of the four Ritzy's buildings that were constructed in Lexington, it's the last one left. I'm overjoyed to see my favorite fast food taco joint moving into a building once occupied by my favorite fast food burger joint. It's almost as if they had consulted me to recommend a locaiton. (They didn't, but it worked out very nicely.)Zap Actionsdowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435622162129525099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411374383982984063.post-57075913093271493692019-03-22T20:49:18.513-04:002019-03-22T20:49:18.513-04:00Glad to see you made the front page on Imgur!

Sadly, I believe Ray Frick passed away a year or two ago. <br /><br />I think you're right about the Richmond Indiana location. The sign looks very similar to the sign at the Lucky Steer in Wapakoneta. Thanks for the tip about that place by the way. Expect a post about them soon.

I'll have to do an in depth Street View review of them one of these days to see if I can spot any interesting specimens.

The sign was the same in 2007 (since replaced), and although I can't find any photos of the building when it was a Lucky Steer, the shape of the Frickers looks similar enough to other Lucky Steer buildings<br /><br />https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8730762,-84.8877255,3a,75y,20.27h,101.53t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s3ahX9KX2TK_nA3-HZibYcQ!2e0!5s20080901T000000!7i3328!8i1664Mapcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249752796370164510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411374383982984063.post-1050789845949151242019-02-26T00:41:37.240-05:002019-02-26T00:41:37.240-05:00I saw that you found an answer for Governor's ...I saw that you found an answer for Governor's Hill as Cookers, so I thought I'd look into Goodman Ave. for you.
