Long Wong's - Mill Avenue, Tempe
I think it moved to the other side of University still on Mill, but part of the charm was all of the grafitti my friends and I had left all over the walls and ceiling years ago. I can't really say if the move impacted the food because I never actually ate there... we only went to see local bands in the bar area. In the 90s, we'd go see the Fake McCoys every Tuesday night without fail. I think the Fake McCoys jumped the shark when they got a new bassist who insisted on wearing a cow costume during the shows. Then they lost their guitarist, who was awesome. I think the main attraction of the band, Ralo, now roams the Jerome scene.

Always did love walking past Long Wong's. Now all I have are the photographs from days gone by. The music, though, still sometimes a ghostly echo on Mill Ave -- if it weren't for that vacant, excepting the dirt, lot.
Interesting blog idea. I'll keep an eye on it. Especially if Mill Ave gets mentioned more often.
