What is going on with that lot across from FIS?
There once was a property in Fenton across the street from the Middle School. In my day there was a Rollerama roller skating rink that was immensely popular. In more recent years, Serendipity ran a successful flower and fruit and fresh produce market. Of course, Wash King was the local laundry mat in Fenton operating that entire time. Now it is just an empty space and parking lot frequented by skateboarders (at least someone is getting good use out of it).
This property across the street from what is now known as FIS (Fenton Intermediate School) is all but abandoned. The parking lot is cracked an in need of repair. Debris collects in the corner of the lots. Graffiti poses as art on the neglected building. There was rumor that this property would be developed into condominiums with medium to upscale shopping. After vacating the property, the developers must have had their second thoughts. This is such a prime location; it is a shame that it isn't being put to better use.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #10 -- Legend's
Legend's Tavern & Pizzeria, located not far east off the Thompson Rd exit of US-23 has a real contender in their bacon cheeseburger for Burger Battle champion. Great value for the money and very tasty. The fries were nothing to write home about, but the burger can stand on it's own. We are also unsure why the mushroom and swiss burger was a dollar more than the bacon cheeseburger. If you're in the mood for a great burger, you won't go wrong at Legend's.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #09 -- Great Lakes Family Restaurant
Great Lakes Family Restaurant is a wonderful family diner with very reasonable prices, fast and friendly service. The Flame used to operate out of this location many years ago. We'd recommend adding their slaw and fries to your burger order for only $1.85 more. It's a lot of good food for the money.

Virtual Video Tour "The Eats of Fenton" Burger Battle #08 -- Beale Street
Probably better known for their blues and BBQ's, Beale Street has one mean burger. Located adjacent to the gas station on the corner of Torrey and North Road (Exit 80 off of US-23), this is a treat to find. Occasional live blues music is the cherry on top of this Memphis barbecue restaurant.
Crinkle-cut steak fries accent the juicy Beale St burger with a taste so mouth watering you'd think you've headed to a southern backyard picnic. Three savory BBQ sauces man every station, and makes for a great ketchup substitute and southern tangy taste treat.
This is entry number eight in the FentonSays.com Burger Battle. The featured video tour will give you a flavor for all of the good eats available to residents and visitors of Fenton, Michigan.
