I still remember my dad rollling the window part way down so the servers tray could rest on it. Such wonderful memories munching down hotdogs on a warm summer night and watching piggies run around the bottom of the dome.Robert Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037385841039207815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20675423.post-59145723103716346362011-02-27T17:30:30.539-05:002011-02-27T17:30:30.539-05:00The Garden of Eden tavern on the corner of East Wa...The Garden of Eden tavern on the corner of East Washington St. and Ruffner Ave. Made some great hotdogs. A lady named Rose who worked there for years, made the best hotdog chili I've ever tasted. Then there was Carl's 10 for a dollar dogs located up on US 60 near Ceader Grove. Then there was the Clendenin Dairy Queen.

My dad would have to go pick them up because it was a "beer joint".<br />It was where the The Empty Glass is currently located, on Elizabeth Street.<br /><br />Many thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09080123639495913955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20675423.post-44331042771656192002010-07-16T04:56:44.094-04:002010-07-16T04:56:44.094-04:00That's a later picture [1960?] of the Gold Dom...That's a later picture [1960?] of the Gold Dome. They were very good. They also had a BBQue. On the east side of the bldg they had an enclosed cooker that had, as I remember, a pig turning on a spit. There was a much larger dome that did look a little like the capitol. In my time I don't remember slaw until later. What you got was sauce, or chili sauce.
