Here's an old street scene on East Main at the Carlisle building, a promo for the Moonlight Drive In. You can see the old Tip Top Restaurant sign in the background.

No Ideal Restaurant in the 1923-24 directory. 63 W. Second was a doctor's office. 69 W. Second was, well, still the Poland House.
Does anyone remember a restaurant on i think bridge street called Burger Chef ???
David C. replied:
Little Drummer Boy was the chicken place next to Burger Chef and Blue Drummer Steakhouse was across the street, both owned by the same company. I believe Little Drummer Boy was where Chillicothe Chiropractic is now, while Burger Chef was exactly where Auto Zone is now.

In the early 70's when this was The Copper Kettle restaurant, my husband frequently stopped in on his walk home from school to buy Bismarcks from Mrs. Heightsman. She sat at her small display case and sold her baked goods. He said he would go in the door and hang a right. Sometimes she saved a couple back just for him. They visited while he ate them. He got emotional just remembering. Such a great renovation of this building which had suffered abuse prior to this.

For those that don't read back on the previous posts, Miles Barrows stated earlier that his family ran The Canteen Restaurant in the 50's. Before that, the restaurant was called Brook's, and after that, in the 60's, it became known as Coke's.
