The Truth About the Awful Waffle

I managed to track down Lisa's mom today at church. Since she was one of the four to visit the home of the Awful Waffle (along with her husband and my parents), I asked her about it because I could find no info online.

The name of the place wasn't Awful Waffle - It was Waffle King. Or, rather R Waffle King now due to some legal reason. It's in Altoona.

And I found a picture online!

I feel enlightened. Now I want to visit. Lisa went there in the late 90s and according to info online, the place still exists.

Random numbers

Posted here so I don't forget them.

Notes: These numbers are from my father's road atlas. The times given distance wise seem fairly correct. The Thunder Bay to Hamilton run is listed as being around 17 hours, which is fairly close to the actual time. For my sanity's sake NYC is used for Westchester County. This affects the final numbers somewhat, but then they would vary by driver anyway.

Westchester County to Montreal: 6.05 hours going North through New York state and up into Quebec through the Champlain (?) crossing.
Hamilton to Montreal: 6.37 hours going along Lake Ontario and the seaway.
Youngstown to Montreal: 11.19 hours going up to Lake Erie, following it and crossing into Canada at Buffalo-Fort Erie, going along the golden horseshoe until Hamilton, then following the "Hamilton to Montreal" route.

Therefore, The crew in Westchester ARE closer to a smoked meat sandwich. :-P
