Fwd: Re: RE: [CBQ] Grier Restaurant at Burlington, Iowa

In June 1963 I enjoyed lunch in the Galesburg depot Grier's and dinner
that same day in the one at Burlington, before spending a night in the
Burlington Hotel, a grand old place. The food at both Grier's was excellent.

     I frequented the Burlington restaurant quite a bit on Sunday nights in
     1966, and I remember sitting at the horseshoe shaped counter. I would
     arrive on train #15 at 11 PM and eat an order of blueberry pancakes
     before retiring to the bunk cars. I was always amazed at the number of
     people in this depot (and restaurant) so late in the evening. I can't
     attest to Grier's food in general, but I thought the blueberry pancakes
     were good, and a bargain also at (I seem to recall) 35 cents.

    Ken,
     I had many a breakfasts in the Burlington and Galesburg restaurants
     while working third trick.
     The Burlington restaurant had a horseshoe shaped counter the cement
     foundation is still there I beleive.
     I went past the station last Saturday but didn't stop.
