I remember in the early 60s, there was a regular restaurant or drive-in restaurant near the west intersection of Berry Street and I-35, called The Red Canary. My Dad and cousin remember this place too, although not in detail. I have vague recollections of it, driving by it but never going in. It seemed liked there may have been red neon signifying the title of the place, but that's all I remember. Anyone have any memories of this place and what it was?
Also, does anyone remember the various Lone Star cafes around town. Funnily enough, the one I remember the most was also on Berry Street, not far west of the Red Canary. My Dad says that Dave Benson owned them, and that with his brother, they owned another type of restaurant or club in town. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The Lone Star Drive-in (located at 700 East Berry) originally opened in 1949 by Dave Benson and his partner.
