Along the sidewalk he had a stand with a counter and five or six stools. From that humble beginning he built a walk-in diner on Colorado Avenue. Milk shakes were served in a silver goblet with signature big boys. Then came the drive in restaurants. My parents went to the first one and from about 1949 I dined at a couple in Glendale and the big Magnolia Park drive-in burger place. The statues came later, perhaps after Bob sold the business. As it went through various ownerships quality declined. gblackburn999https://www.blogger.com/profile/01981096591830879296noreply@blogger.com
