Oh my gosh.
My dad's family is from the Greenville area. Although I never had my first Maid rite until my dad had passed, and his youger brother took me there. We discussed that it was probably because it is advertised as a bar and grill, and my mother was rabid about her children going to a bar. The last time I was in Greenville was last summer for a 90th birthday celebration for a relative, and we went to Maid Rite. We have a couple in Colorado now, but I have not been there yet. And, yes, the gum has to be power washed off the building in Greenville about once a year according to my Uncle.
