It use to stand on the south side of Grand ave just east of the train tracks. I went there from time to time with friends, I would guess circa 1978/1979. It no longer exists of course. Wondered if anyone else remembered this place and when exactly did it go out of business..

Here's a postcard that would seem to indicate it was still around in 1970:

Great memories. I used to go there with friends from college and if I remember correctly, they had great burgers.
