Golden Gabels: Late Night Confessions. Amy February 17th 2025
We take your stories about the the beloved 24-hr all night diner just outside of town and edit, sanitize and share with everyone. GG may be history but the stories will live on forever!
"Thanks for the website, I think it has alot of entertainment!
In the early 2000s I went to IU and on Fridays I had a ritual where I'd meet my grandma for lunch at GG after I got into town.
Something that made a ton of friction between us was when I'd go shopping on a credit card her and my parents gave me for gas and bills.
One Friday I used it to buy some clothes at JcP and to hide the purchases I decided to wear the two shirts under my existing clothes and my jacket over it.
When we met for lunch the restaurant was already blazingly hot and sitting in there with my Grandma INSISTING I eat.
I was sweating the whole time, I refused to take my jacket off. The week after I was cornered by my mother because my grandma took my sweaty, bloated look to mean I must be pregnant or on drugs.
That next Friday I under dressed on purpose to calm my grandma down. After that Friday she was convinced that I was showing skin to find a boyfriend. I'm so glad I'm an adult now because I could never win when I was younger!"
