Serving hungry students with a smile
Quickie Burger owner
Kerope Arman has seen his
fair share of intoxicated stu-
dents with the munchies for
fast food. Conveniently locat-
ed at the intersection of Hill
Street and State Street, the
maize-and-blue interior of
Quickie Burger is a common
last stop for students getting
back from a night out, and the
popularity hasn't declined
sihce the restaurant started
serving alcohol in January.
"They've always patron-
ized at night, because they're
always around, 12 o'clock,
one o'clock, two o'clock,"
Arman said about students.
Now 60 years old, Arman
said the restaurants unusu-
ally young and collegiate cli-
entele make him feel young
again.
"Well, for an old man it's
totally different, you feel
elated, and you feel young
because when you're 60
years old, and you're sur-
rounded by 18, and 20, and
22-year-olds, you feel a little
bit younger, so for me it's a
nicer atmosphere."
Quickie Burger, famed
for its controversial logo of a
scantily clad woman riding a
hamburger, also has a special
place in campus life on foot-
ball Saturdays when "proba-
bly 50,000 people" passby on
thestreet outside the restau-
rant, according to Arman.
"Football Saturdays are
just phenomenal, I mean in
the way of volume. It's very
hectic from the beginning
of morning until six, seven
o'clock at night. They tail-
gate prior, they tailgate after.
It's nice to see people having
fun," Arman said.
Arman, who has owned
Quickie Burger for one yea
and whose son and wife als
help run the restaurant, onl
had positive things to sad
about the students who mak
up a large proportion of th
restaurant's patrons.
"They're much more open
they're much more interac
tive, they're interested. Yot
get a chance to talk abou
diverse subjects. Some tal]
about politics, some tall
about sports, some talk abou
current events and issues,
Kerope said.,
When asked whether he'
seen any rowdiness or othe
alcohol-induced behavio
late at night among students
Arman staunchly declined.
"Never, never, never
They're just nice, well
behaved," Arman said.
Arman acknowledged tha
there were some things hap
