Wow, those are some names I haven’t heard in a long time! I think I remember you telling me back when we were cubicle neighbors you had managed that Steak ‘n Shake. Turns out that location was one of the places Emily and I went the night we met. The bowling alley was long gone by then.

This was still the time period for curb service and closing overnight. So, I did spend a few times afterwards at the all-night bowling alley. Lots of great memories with co-workers. BTW, we would still have some celebrities dine at the old Steak ‘n Shake, which was previously an old Howard Johnson’s diner before it was replaced with a second-generation store a decade later. Morning breakfast guests also included The Decent Boys, Steve Mizerany and Joe Farhat, of The New Deal Applicance Company next to the Bevo Mill. Definitely a different time period. It is sad to see a Walgreens now there and the Steak ‘n Shake gone.
