From the homepage I really thought it was chicken wings and wheels car meet. Like the cars and coffee. Ha. I’m getting wingstop for lunch now.

We have been to several of these. It is a worthwhile stop on the way to or from Hafers.

That would be the Wings, Wheels, and Wings show later in the month.

Before Buffalo Wings became a thing there was a restaurant near the airport called Red's Twin Kiss that sold fried chicken wings for 10 cents apiece or a bucket of 120 for $10.00.

I realized I sounded like my old man.

I remember Red’s twin kiss well. My ex and I would stop there every time we went to Hagerstown in the late 70’s
