It's owned by Earl Holding, who owns Sinclair Oil.
Your more than welcome pritch...I must say I'm really glad to hear that it still exists, perhaps if you were ever able you could take a pic of it now and post it. Places like that are, and always were, for outsiders like me, quintessentially American and just plain perfect.

Those are great Fred....real life. Thanks for sharing them. I do love this thread.
