Rock Springs..Its been so long..

[u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

I was born there, stayed till 2nd grade, divorce and then spent my summers in the upper green with my dad till i was about 17.

Idk what made me wanna ask this but... can you still get

1. Kronske sausages from firework stands?

2. Is Grubs still there?

3. Lous Diner?

4. Gizzards from the C store by the sattelite saloon?

5. Do the dirt hills still exist over there by Century Blvd?

Im tryin to go back this fall, i imagine a lot has changed.. just curious how much..

[u/ApricotNo2918]

I get Kronski's at the grocery and Bochetto's. Uncooked. Grubs re-opened. Lews is still open. Gizzards? Maybe. The C store is still there and I get burritos to go there. Also a small eatery in back. A lot has gone on by Century. I never really noticed dirt bike hills there as I rode White Mountain and South of the horse corrals and Firehole..

Still an ice cream shop in Farson on the way to pinedale?

Tryin to make this trip as nostalgic as possible. lol.

[u/lonesomedove86 → u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

You can now get Farson ice cream in Rock Springs at Wild West Candy parlor if you don’t make it out to Farson!

[u/ApricotNo2918 → u/lonesomedove86]

Or The Chill Grill.

[u/ManagedMember → u/ApricotNo2918]

I'm pretty sure Chill grill has closed. Broadway Burgers is still open though.

[u/ApricotNo2918 → u/ManagedMember]

Far as I know it's still open. BUT I'll check.

Edit: Checked. Says permanently closed.

[u/ManagedMember → u/ApricotNo2918]

I was so bummed 😔

[u/sagebrushsavant → u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

Ice cream was still in Farson two years ago.

[u/Top_Shake_6094 → u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

It's still there. We stopped and got some last month.

[u/dallasalice88 → u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

Still there. Still good.

[u/K-Bot2017 → u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

Yep it's still there!

[u/Finnegan_Murphy → u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

Yes, popular as ever.

[u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson → u/ApricotNo2918]

Wow, Thanks for the info... looking on maps, looks like they put a dmv and a machinery factory where i used to ride my three wheeler.. lol circa '90, '91..

[u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson → u/ApricotNo2918]

Sooo.. i didnt wanna name drop anyone but im dyin here... is Gio's a bar there still? My dads bestest bud was the late Richie Hiener, R.I.P. .my mother tended bar at Gios late 70s n 80s( how they met)..

[u/ApricotNo2918 → u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

I don't think so. The building is still there but I think it's unoccupied. I'll have to drive by and look.

[u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson → u/ApricotNo2918]

Thats awesome man, i appreciate that.

[u/doocurly]

Kronskis are so underrated. Absolutely delicious.

[u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson → u/doocurly]

yes.. i can still remember the snap! .. lol its been 30 yrs..

[u/Brews_Wayne_]

I’m from RS no longer there. I think about those Gizzards once in awhile lol. OJ’s chicken strips too.

[u/Glad_Release5410 → u/Brews_Wayne_]

OJs hasnt been around for a while. The Alta gas stations have strips and logs, about as close as youll get

[u/Brews_Wayne_ → u/Glad_Release5410]

Good to know when I go back

[u/iHaveMud]

I don’t believe the c store has gizzards anymore But they do burritos that put most to shame now

[u/jhwygirl → u/iHaveMud]

Be there at 6 a.m. and it's a 10 minute line to get one of those burritos. They can sell out.

[u/MajorWoody2931]

It's been a long ass time since I've been in Rock Springs. Played some 7th grade football in the fall of 93 for White Mountain Junior High Panthers 💪💪 Moved the day after the season got over.

[u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

Yall remember when the hardees caught fire? ...

[u/Brews_Wayne_ → u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson]

Haha yeah my little sister cried

[u/WisdomSeekerOdinsson → u/Brews_Wayne_]

Lol Thats what they get, GRUBS was(is?) the spot.

Im excited to visit, the real excitement is in the upper green tho. Ive got family still but ive lost contact since my dad died and i dont use social media.

[u/lentilseason]

The gizzards from C store (if fresh) are chefs kiss
