Guest Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Had my first KK donut last week, WOW! Really great! Believe it or not the local Giant food store carries them now, along with Hess service sartions. Giant even discounts them a whopping 10% Imagine that in these days of financial woes. Just the "glazed" ones,at first, who knows how adventurious I'll get in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronbarn Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Cecil - spoken like the true younger generation. If you have an older car, like in the '20s, they did not have tilt steering. So I guess the early KK enthusiasts used the after market accessory "fat man steering wheels" which were fairly common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadsterRich Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Ron,<P>My 1930 Chrysler 77 has "Adjustable Steering", while it isn't tilt the steering column can be adjusted across about a 6" range. The caveat being that it is done by loosening nuts that are behind the instrument panel, moving the column up/down to the desired position and tightening the nuts up. Maybe Chrysler had KK thoughts early on! <P>Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Don't get hooked on Krispy Kreme donuts unless you have tilt steering and *plenty* of room to move the seat back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shaffer Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 We have Krispy Kreme doughnuts here in NE Tennessee. There is a KK store. You can really smell them as you drive by if the window is down. There is not a Dunkin Doughnuts here anymore. There is a lady at work originally from Boston, MA and she has been looking for one here. Closest one was 22 miles away in the next city, but last I heard, it shut down. Someone mentioned "Giant" supermarket. We used to have one here, but another chain bought it out, as well as the local Piggly Wiggly market. Winn-Dixie market finally went out as well here locally. Kroger is still in business, but stores like Super-Wal-Mart and Food City are really putting them out of business. Gaint and Piggly Wiggly, is now it is called "Food City" and is actually, where I work (until I finish school) They are in east Tennessee, southwest Virginia and southeast Kentucky. I remember going in the "Giant" market when I was small back in the early 1980s. I vaguely remember the big rainbow looking thing on the front of the store. Do not know if all of them have this or not, but when you are a kid, things like this is neat. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
