Does anyone remember this chain? Officially named Carroll's Family Restaurants, there were a few in Northern New York state back in the 1970's. There was one in Potsdam, which later became a Burger King. The one in Massena later became an Arby's, then when Arby's moved to the mall, the building was converted to a bank. Watertown had two, one on Arsenal Street near Interstate 81, which I think was torn down several years ago, and the other was on State Street. I remember reading that the State Street location was closed in 1977 and boarded up since. I remember passing by this building a few years ago and it was sad seeing it so run down and abandoned.:( It was demolished a couple of years ago to make room for a new Kinney Drugs. I wish I had taken a picture before it was torn down.

Thanks! That would explain the one in Potsdam.:) Plus, the reason why the Watertown and Massena locations didn't convert. In Massena, there is a McDonald's just down the street, and the same situation with the two former Carroll's sites in Watertown.
