That flat top is older than you and me combined.

I haven't been to zips for years. I might have to make a road trip for burgers.

About 10 years ago my office was about 500 feet from Zip's.
Sadly, Boardwalk Hobby closed permanently last summer. (The hobby and game store a few doors down from Zip's.)

I wonder if the restaurant owners are pissed or pleased. The staff are getting all the money.

I could go for some Montgomery Inn ribs

But Skyline Chili...not so much.

I lived in Mt. Adams for 4 years
