Do You Remember Before Jacky's Galaxie?

This week's location to get your wheels turning is Jacky's Galaxie in Bristol.

 

Businesses come and go in every state and town. But how far back can you remember?

Jacky's Galaxie is an Asian restaurant and sushi bar conveniently located on the Metacom Avenue strip. Today, Jacky's offers a casual dining and bar atmosphere in addition to a banquet room for holidays and parties. But think further back and try to remember what other businesses inhabited this location that you may have frequented in past years.

Post your memories in the comments section below.

then it was the Village Tavern, Where Bristol's own TOUCH got its start and recognition. Several bands played there, RUN 21, Sabatoge, Through the Doors, What I can remember, The Village was the place to be on a FRI night.

Rego's first store was where the Enterprise Car Rental is now. He rented from Joe Brum. When he moved into his "new" building he had a window for drive-in service. His son Manny runs Van's Spa and has some great photos of the old places.
