Anyone remember The Flamingo Palace? It was located near the corner of 11th Ave. and 2nd St SE. The building is still there but there is no longer a restaurant in it. The restaurant was located in the basement, with the dining room on the east side, and the lounge on the west. I worked as a busboy there for about 2 or 3 months back in late 1987 or early 1988. Not exactly sure of the timeframe but I definitely remember working there during the winter months. Anyway, I was told when I started that lots of Flames would dine there after games. Didn't encounter that many Flames but I did serve Al MacInnis (who was clearly on a date), and Ric Nattress and his family. I remember going in one night for work and a fellow busboy told me I had missed Neil Sheehy the night before.
