Red Barn. Right next door to the Snow White drive in(played lots of pinball there), and across the street from Crystal Pool Hardare.

Wow, I had forgotten all about this place. Never went there but would go by it in the car with my parents when I was a little kid. Do not thought about it in probably 50 years! Thanks for the memory.

Is that the restaurant that had the barrel of water in the lobby where kids could fish out prizes?

I remember they had a barrel of goody bags that well behaved kids could fish for as they left.

Look at those cars! That Chevy on the end, and that old station wagon! Those were cars. Makes sense to have pics of these vehicles in an online museum too.

I worked as a busboy at the Pleasant Hill Nut Bowl during the summer of 1966 and during Christmas vacation the same year. The owner, Vern as I recall, was a good boss. The waitresses were all pleasant and dependable. I earned $1.25 per hour. Worked a split shift. Rode on my bicycle to my grandparents home, where I was staying during the week, between the breakfast and lunch shifts. Rode to the Pleasant Hill library between lunch and dinner shifts. The most memorable memory was serving a former German World War II POW and his family one Sunday afternoon. He said that while he was a POW he knew that when the war was over he wanted to emigrate to the United States. He made it here with his family in 1953. In those days you had to be healthy and not take a cent from the government and you had to do it legally.

Yep remember it as a kid but never ate there – our parents would take us to the red barn
Or Jolly’s Beef Burgers.
Loved Red Barn.
Still have a one of the Popeye glasses they gave away- Wimpy!
