SOB opened in 1950, the year I began first grade. I have lived my entire life except for military service of three years within an hour or two of it and never knew it was there until I was twenty some years old. I never actually saw it until I was twenty six and my first impression was to ask if this was somebody’s idea of an expensive joke. I don’t think I have ever spent a nickle there. It has to be the most overadvertised business in the world.
It definitely is over-hyped - lol - but those billboards are fun. SOB is like a piece of Americana. We’re glad we stopped there, even if all we did was park and walk around and visit the restrooms and play some old arcade games.
