After almost 24 years in business near the corner of 4th & Garden/CdA, Larry & Pauline Anderson have closed their popular breakfast/lunch spot, Franklin’s Hoagies. I used to be a fairly regular customer when the Spokesman-Review was located across the alley to the north. In fact, I used to give colleagues a $5 gift certificate to Franklin’s Hoagies for every five Huckleberries tips they provided. It worked out pretty well. I quit hanging out at Franklin’s Hoagies after the Spokesman-Review built its current Coeur d’Alene office on Northwest Boulevard. But I still miss the banter between Larry & Pauline — and the tremendous breakfasts they provided. You can read about the sale here. H/T: Get Out! North Idaho Facebook And: Old GONI review here.

Question: Anyone want to provide a fond memory of Franklin’s Hoagies? Or a fond farewell to the Andersons?
