Came into the VD on Stanford where I worked graveyards after 1am - liked pizza rolls, Geno's !@#!$ frozen pizza and dry humor.   I could make him laugh but it was like a corpse coughing.  You could tell he wasn't long for this world (early '90's)

PS - Pat Sweeney also frequented the Stanford VD - bought a lot of Eskimo Pies to my recollection.   Nice guy but also odd like Karl.

where was a VD on Stanford?????????????

There was a VD straight across Stanford Road from Frenchy's--about 100 yards south of Gateway. 

It was there into the 90s I believe.  Use to frequent it when living at Stanford Court apartments…they were a fugly yellow.

Stumbled upon this little gem...thank you, YouTube algorithm!

 

Literally tears in my eyes on how much I wish my kids could have grown up like this in this area as we did then.

Just a great qualifying of life.

Nostalgic depression now settled in......

It was the basement VD if I recall on campus. That place was tiny. 

My uncle worked there and I remember him showing me a "trick" to get free play on the PacMan machine that was there. It was a cool addition to campus.  For all the development on campus the lack of a little retail village is the one thing still needing to be addressed
