I have heard a lot of great things about PDQ.

I liked the area a lot but I don't miss the traffic. (Having lived in L.A. and Philly for much of my adult life, I laugh when I hear complaints about "snow bird" traffic in TV!)

I drove past some really horrific crashes on US 19 as well as on Alderman.

I had to drive around a lot as one of my things was taking care of Tar and Zak when Tal was a baby/toddler and one of my four sister-in-laws owned a consignment shop on US 19. I did the soccer, gymnastics, swimming, bus stop and other routines. And a lot of babysitting.

A trip to Burger King as a way to get them to behave as a future reward often worked.

I really can’t think of the last time we have eaten at any fast food. As a young child we went to the opening of Mickey Ds, our parents said any time a French Fry looks the same 6 months later, you should just walk away.
Our children and grands rarely eat fast food.
Even when we travel we take food with us. The sodium, additives and preservatives just real havoc for us.

I certainly recall those and it seems like it is still one of the most dangerous roads in the US.

There was a Wendy's on it I think that I sometimes would go to. Wendy's 34092 Us Hwy 19 N: fast food, burgers, chicken, chicken sandwiches, salads, Frosty, breakfast, open late, drive thru, meal deals in Palm Harbor, Florida

'''Death Valley''' drivers say stretch of U.S. 19 is extremely dangerous

U.S. Route 19 in Florida - Wikipedia

Now there's a real oxymoron. (quality - fast food)

I haven't eaten at Wendy's in ages. For fast food, their burgers aren't bad but I don't care for their fries.

Wendy's ain't cheap. Wife had a half-salad and I had a grilled chicken sandwich combo and it was $14 ! Maybe the new one will give a senior discount!

I go to the Wendy's up on 441 every couple of weeks; I'll be glad when Trailwinds opens up.

I love PDQ. We had them in Tampa & when they opened here I was so happy.

A lot of their food choices are great. I love the Meditteranean salad and the bowls.
Their chicken is fabulous.

You must have ordered a combo and then even upped the size for $14!

Next time order a Jr. hamburger with lettuce, tomato and onion, a value fries and a senior drink and you can get by for about $3.00!

The only senior discount Wendy's gives is a senior drink.

I usually agree with everything you say, but their chili is VERY good and I have been a fan since they opened their first place in downtown Columbus, Ohio near my first job.
