Think about how great it would be after a long day on the road to go kick back in the television lounge. 🙂
This place was located at Walker and Division, where the Applebee’s is located today. I seem to recall the restaurant building (the lower building pictured in the postcard below) being there until the early to mid 1990’s.
That was the strange building that looked like it had the mumps, wasn’t it?
The restaurant building was there until quite recently. It had been other restaurants in the past, Mexican and/or Italian I think.
My mother told me that that was where she had her first slice of pizza, probably around the mid-50s. Not something you’d find in Tecumseh back then (pre-Trevi, of course).
Hot AND cold running water!!!!
It was a Chinese restaurant.
The Chinese restaurant was called Chans.
Yes, the Chinese castle (or so I thought when I was a kid because of the shape).
Hello-
A friend of mine’s family owned Routley’s Motel. I would LOVE to obtain a picture or drawing or any memorabilia. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you-
