On the Web, nothing ever dies. Take, for example, this page advertising Buzzy's Roast Beef, more than eight years after it was demolished to make way for a hotel where people pay good money to eat behind bars:
We're more than just Roast Beef.
Stop by and check out our menu of sandwiches, salads, and more. We even serve breakfast.
Buzzy's Fabulous Roast Beef is practically a Boston tradition. It was first opened at Charles Circle during the 1960's, and was re-opened September 27, 1996 - and has not been closed a minute since! You will find an extensive menu of sandwiches, salads, sides, breakfast, and of course, the best Roast Beef sandwiches in Boston.
Indoor and Outdoor seating available.
Spatch, who found the page, sighs:
The fact that this webpage for Buzzy's Roast Beef still exists is both amazing and depressing.
Christina recalls the last day we ate at Buzzy's.
Yes, of course there's a Facebook page for Buzzy's fans.
