I joined the Farrell's fan club on Facebook, and I tell you, it has caused more discussion among my Facebook friends than almost anything else I've done. Guess a lot of people have good memories of that goofy ice cream place with the barbershop-handlebar mustache guys.
Matt on Scrubbles linked to the Farrell's history page. I had no idea they were based in Oregon!
Rob and I always laugh when we are driving in the Valley and we see a place that obviously was a Farrell's, got sold, and the guy just changed the "F" in his sign to a "B" and reopened as "Barrell's." They went under, duh.

I've never actually seen (let alone eaten at) at Farrell's, but we taught "Give 'em the Pickle" regularly when I was at Disney. (Read regularly as: I could probably facilitate it in my sleep 3 years later.)
Bob Farrell's definitely an interesting guy!
Wow. Talk about memories. I used to go to the Farrell's at Metrocenter mall in Phoenix back in the 70s. Lots of fun for a kid. I can't believe my mom, aunt, and uncle took us there, as noisy as I recall it to be. They surely must've served alcohol!
