When I arrived in Springfield in June, 2000 to work for WAND TV, Luke Carey and Mike Rapps said they'd "show me around". We never left Norb's!Good luck new owners.

Rich, maybe you should also link to the facebook group. That's where I first learned of the re-opening.

Emmett's picture should be rehung...but most of all....Norbert Anderson's should be there as well.

Emmett (they better re-hang his picture)
Denny (and Mrs. Jacobs & Mike)
John Cross
Jim Anderson
trivia
great friends
good food
Dave & Kate
everyone getting along no matter what party affiliation
I probably forgot a lot of people but Norb's (and Sam's) were the best for the political crowd. I look forward to the re-opening and many memories to come.

Chris with her long beautiful hair greeting everyone that walked down the "Cheers" like staircase. It was a place "where everybody knows your name". Good luck......hope you can make it. My friend L always went shopping with her dad at Christmas and it was tradition to stop there for lunch. Such traditions are great memories!

Remember, Pearson's Fiero parked behind the apartment on Canedy(?) Street at the railroad tracks. Home sweet home in the real early days. Would you ever live there now???

Missing Kerry Turner passing out his coupons during NFL season. "Hey Brother, you need one of these moneymakers."

Why do you take the news about Norb's ("the setup") directly from the SJ-R's Sunday A La Carte column (exact wording) and not credit the paper?

I'd rather believe--as a wise old man once said--that the best years are still ahead of us. (I think he said something about the POTUS, too, but can't remember what it was.)

Wow, all of these memories are blowing me away ... things I haven't thought about in ages. I don't think we can even begin to hope to get all that back (we're too old for one thing), but I for one am looking forward to putting it to the test! Go Jeopardy!

I really enjoyed listening to Denny Jacobs tell stories etc. He is always good for a laugh.

Also, watching a coworker at the time trying to scam women and crashing and burning it was a side show to say the least.

Seeing Rich at 130am and reading the fax in the morning thinking how does he do it!

Dad took me there for soup and a horseshoe in, oh, 1978 or so. First real meal out alone with dad -- very, very fond memories. The other times, not so much memory left!

The night you were trying to bag the babe and your credit card was declined and she promptly announced you couldn't afford her. Error with the credit machine but hilarious nonetheless

Frankly, by the end the place was just annoying. I couldn't take it any more. But I did have some great memories.

katiecanoe's future husband and I came up with a great money-making idea one night for the bar. But, again, that's unprintable.

Ah, memories.
