- HI TOM...THAT AD IS ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW MUCH BETTER WE WERE BACK IN THE 30'S. TO BEGIN WITH, THE NUMBER OF RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA WERE NUMEROUS. IN ADDITION TO THE DINNERS, THEY PROVIDED LIVE MUSIC FOR LISTENING AND DANCING PLEASURE. THE TWO BEST HOTELS IN THE CITY FOR $2.00 PER PERSON IS UNBELIVEABLE. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A DEPRESSION BUT IN SOME WAYS THE COST OF LIVING MADE IT BEARABLE. LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE OLDEN DAYS.

- The Geneva Restaurant was later called the Geneva Inn. It was still in business well into the 60's or longer. I can almost remember the owner's name - Don (but not the last name). He was another of Big Brownie and Whitey. There was a string of restaurants out in the 'Burbs, that seemed kinda related. The others were The Marroe Inn (beside the Baker's Basin Inspection Station) and Don Young's, on Olden Ave. How were they related? They all had mysterious fires while past their prime, IIRC.
