A favorite when I was about 6-7 in '71, Culver City, California. Right down the street from our house. I'd ride my Schwinn w/ banana seat and wheelie bar down there to get a couple of chili dogs after school.

"Rocket Man" @ The Launching Pad diner, Wilmington, IL. It's situated on (old) Rte. 66, IIRC.

You are correct. Wilmington IL. I ate there last summer. It has changed owners a few times over the years but still has pretty good food and the atmosphere is awesome!

Portsmouth, NH. The restaurant is long gone but the sign is a local landmark and was rebuilt a few years ago.
