"1940's, a good year for curb service." There was Frank's and cruising closer to Ghent, originally Robbie's, then Ollie's BBQ at 21st & Colley in 1948.

"Schoe's almost wiped [Doumar's] off the map" according to the family. In 1946; it was built so curb girls could easily skate in and out with orders, nearby Doumar's..

Our parents spoke of Tegg’s, featuring a dance floor and banquet room, near the old Hofheimer’s location where a new Walgreen's is today (prior, Paddy's Pub & The Townhouse Inn and before that a diner).

In the 1950's Granby Comets hung out at Burrough's at Ward's Corner (approximately near the overpass by Farm Fresh/previously Giant Open Air where in the 60’s there was a Burger Chef, 15¢ no McDonald’s yet) and What-A-Burger (we'd hit them for a burger then go across the street for Shoney's Big Boy onion rings) up Little Creek Road but Comets still ventured to Doumar's, more widely frequented by Norview Pilots & Maury Commodores.

Evidence of Doumar's reign over this precarious business is apparent today, in that the 21st & Granby Shoney's location was replaced by an IHOP.
