Remembering the Red Hot.

This old sign sparked more letters than any other "Picture This" location so far. Here are a few of the interesting notes we received:

My dad's favorite place in the whole world to eat was the Red Hot. My mom didn't agree with him, but when we were traveling, my twin sister and I voted with Dad because we knew how much he loved it. My dad passed away 18 years ago, and I still never go through Meridian and see that sign without having fond memories of my dad and some of those trips.--Nancy Gamer, Madison

The bricks from the torn-down Red Hot are now a part of a beautiful courtyard patio in my brother's backyard in Meridian.--Laurie Norman Simpson, Daphne, Alabama 

In the mid-1960s, I ate many a 20-cent grilled cheese sandwich there on my way home from college in Hattiesburg because that's about all the money I had left!--Sylvia B. Williams, West Point

This is the first place my parents took me "out to eat," when I was just big enough to sit in the red booster seats. Thanks for the great memory! --Dede Holden, Madison

When my husband and I were dating, he was a flight student at NAS Meridian, and we dined here as often as anywhere else. The biscuits were GRAND and the waitresses were as sweet as sugar.--Mrs. Claude R. Carter, Kingwood, Texas
