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 ZACHARY MEISNER/Daily Kerope Arman, owner of Quickie Burger, stands. behind the counter to wait for customers.
