They retain their separate names, but operate as one company now. -------------------- Tiptree “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson Posts: 13672 | From: Terre Haute, IN | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged PaulCat Player Member # 513 posted 05-29-2018 11:36 AM                    My grandma used to love Ponderosa in Newport. She would order a steak and pour ketchup on it! Posts: 10359 | From: Erlanger, Ky.

About twenty minutes before closing, he would put a batch of chicken in the fryer. We'd pick him up from work and he would always have a full bucket of chicken for us! Those were the days.
