With a total of 924 “Likes” on the page, the person behind the Zandy’s Facebook page has announced that the dream is dead. In his (her?) words: It wasn’t fake. We had been working on buying the building since they closed. The investors have given up on the idea and really didn’t take kindly to being called fake. Not enough likes for our liking stop liking Zandys as it will not be opening by us. Thanks to all who...
The Facebook campaign to bring back Zandy’s has people wondering: is it a legitimate effort? The person behind the Facebook page posted this today: “The investers are losing intrest due to likes dropping off. Please share this page after liking us..” Several people – including me – then said it would be helpful if we had more information about the plan, and who specifically is behind it, pointing out that it’s unlikely a bank (or investor) would pony up...
It appears that someone is trying to bring Zandy’s back to life, and they’re looking for support on Facebook to help make it happen. Someone created a Facebook page with this note: “It is closed right now. This is so a friend of mine can get the loan from the bank. I am trying to get 2500 likes.

Farewell, Zandy’s. A true Great Falls icon, now gone. After closing down back in January, it fought back – Fred was brought on to revitalize the joint, and together with his awesome crew, put tons of sweat-equity into restoring Zandy’s, culminating in the re-birth of Zandy’s just a few weeks later. And during Fred’s tenure, Zandy’s thrived briefly – burgers and shakes and breakfast, a cast of colorful regulars, and monthly fund-raisers for local charities. But it just wasn’t...
First: dining updates! No, I haven’t been to Sonic yet – cruised by several times, but with the “staging area” and 30+ minute wait times, I can wait until things settle down. That hasn’t stopped other people, though – rumor has it that a “Sonic Anonymous” group might be forming soon for the newly-addicted (and re-addicted)! And good news: Starbucks is going to begin serving breakfast sandwiches today (Tuesday)! I sampled one the other day – basically an egg...
Don’t forget: Alive @ Five is tonight, and this week it’s going to be centered around Zandy’s! The 1100 block of Central Avenue will be blocked off, and there will be food, games, and live music (band is Hired Guns, I think), starting at 5:00 tonight!
Some of you may have noticed the “Happy Birthday Dave” sign at Zandy’s – and in case you’re wondering, it’s not me My birthday is in October. Just a hunch – but I think the “Dave” in question might be local radio legend Dave Wilson.
