Friendly memories of the past

As a kid growing up, I loved Friendly's and going there was a treat, since I couldn't walk there. Back then, mostly it was like a tradition of after going to a play or concert at a school during the night, afterwards you went to Friendly's. Why, just for the good ice cream sundaes they have. And my favorite was always the Reese's Pieces Sundae, as it has peanut buttery goodness. I remember paying for one that cost my whole allowance of $2.50. I didn't know about the tipping at the time, but my mom took care of that.
Most other times we went to Friendly's it was for a dinner with my sister and my mom, and I mostly got the hamburger platters, with the happy ending sundae at the end.
One really cool promotion they had was when they had sold these wooden puzzles that involved these little pegs you put into holes. It featured simple things like tic tac toe and such. But one memorable game was Tricky Triangle. Upon placing the little pegs into the holes, you left out one hole and you had to jump the pegs untill you can no longer jump anymore pegs. And the fewer pegs you had left on the board, the higher your score was. So they had the game at all the tables as in someting you can do while you wait for your food to come. It was fun, but hard when your mother and sister are watching you play. So afterwards when you lose, you sister then says my turn and plays the game and gets the high score.
One very special memory I have is when they had this device hanging on the wall that lit up various numbers and then you heard a doorbell sound afterwards. Each of the table had a number sticker on it, so I guess that the display would light up a certain number to indicate that a table number's order is ready to be picked up. I loved that thing. Friendly's is one special place to go to, especially, when you get some of their sundae snackcups to take home. sorta like a minature version of their sundaes. They were expensive, but fun to get.
