Maryland Fried Chicken / Rockingham's / Triangle City Diner, 1237 D Avenue: 1970s 8 comments
There are still some Maryland Fried Chicken restaurants on the Grand Strand, but they seem to have abandoned the Midlands sometime between the February 1976 phonebook (above) and the February 1985 one. This building, in Triangle City, is still standing, and still a restaurant, but now it's True BBQ. You have to love the pigs, and the sauce names.
UPDATE 5 April 2012: Added Rockingham's and Triangle City Diner to the post title based on the comments, and google.
Kentucky Fried Chicken / Taste of China Hut, 1825 Rosewood Drive: late 2000s 7 comments
A couple of people have mentioned this former KFC building on Rosewood Drive. According to commenter Beth, it closed as Taste of China Hut about 3 years ago, and is still owned by the same folks. I see that there are still Taste of China Huts on Decker Boulevard and Main Street.
This setup is interesting in that the dumpster alcove is freestanding and brick. I came up on it from behind and couldn't figure out what in the world it was until I got to the other side.
Notice the sign for Football Parking stowed behind the building -- It seems like a long way to walk from there to the stadium, but if you're crazy enough to brave a game day anyway, I guess it's not out of the question.
(Hat tip to commenter Beth, and some others I've forgotten..)
UPDATE 11 July 2014 -- This building is gone:
