[or-roots] Dell's Hamburger shop

[OregonMol at aol.com]

Ah memories,  Dell's hamburger stand (as it was first called) was on 6th just 
west of Riverside by the late 30's at least.  My father, Emerson Merrick, 
used to eat there on occasion though normally without my mother and me.  At that 
time Dell's had 4 stools inside and the counter at the sidewalk.  Dad ran the 
auto court on the east side of Riverside so it was easy access.  Other places 
to eat what we now call fast food were the Roxy Ann Fountain on Central 
between Main and 6th, and the soda fountain in the pharmacy on the corner of Main 
and Riverside.  Many, many changes to the town now but I left in 1948 for 
college so to me it is frozen in time.  When I was in junior high there was a 
spudnut shop between Riverside and the bridge on Main too.
I am always willing to reminisce
