The original Blacksburg Macado's was across the street from where it is now, to the right of Kroger.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891247963294265269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419060323134295102.post-77921038317979934222011-11-05T01:53:29.879-04:002011-11-05T01:53:29.879-04:00Spanky's ... that wouldn't be the same Spa...Spanky's ... that wouldn't be the same Spanky's chain that branched off from Macado's, would it? (Not sure if Macado's was open back then, but the story I always heard was that two brothers owned the Macado's chain. They had a falling out and one of the brothers left and started the Spanky's chain which I believe has now folded.) I've been to a couple of Spanky's and at least two of the Macado's and they are (were) basically the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419060323134295102.post-84978478240532659592011-10-25T18:44:20.457-04:002011-10-25T18:44:20.457-04:00Town Hall preceded Spanky's by a couple of yea...Town Hall preceded Spanky's by a couple of years. I only know that because I ran the deli. I left Blacksburg in early 1978 and returned in the summer of 1980, so I missed out on what Spanky's was like. If someone would like to write about it you can be a guest blogger for the day and I'll try to find some photos of the place.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891247963294265269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419060323134295102.post-2768399131045727622011-10-23T18:37:06.925-04:002011-10-23T18:37:06.925-04:00Around 1978-1980 this place was called "Spank...Around 1978-1980 this place was called "Spanky's".
