| MacArthur Drive remains a hot spot for eateries, and the Family Restaurant hangs on, at the intersection of Highway 28, near Mat Matherne's old ESSO ServiceCenter. It was originally a Reed & Bell Drive-In, run by brothers Steve and Spiro Talambas. Its simple, clean lines minimized overhead and typified many Alexandria establishments in existence before the invasion of national chains and their boringly similar designs and menus. Still standing in 1999...a testament to the family business! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
