I often ate lunch at the Lamar Restaurant throughout the 1980s and 90s. I liked the spaghetti, salad and french bread special. Maybe KF can find one of the Lamar's matchbooks. <br /><br />There were so many restaurants in and around Jackson back in the 1950s through the 1990s that no longer exist. Thank you for posting these bits of nostalgia and memories for us old folks.

Grillis family who later opened the Lamar Restaurant on south Lamar in the early 50's. Chris Grillis, son of the owner, shut it down in 2015 I think.<br /><br />Remember the tourist promotional matchbooks, but only generically. Love the idea of sending a postcard to the listed address! Notice the reference to "zone" rather than zip code. I remember pre-zip postals zones, but not what ours was at this point.<br /><br />Cindy's was a treat on the rare occassion I/we went.Louis LeFleurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-70053278056703621792018-05-07T13:50:53.437-05:002018-05-07T13:50:53.437-05:00Air Conditioned.
