RE: [CBQ] Grier Restaurant at Burlington, Iowa

[GLEN HAUG <glenehaug@msn.com>]

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.
