Here's another memory I wish someone else remembers.


Does anyone remember a tiny little restaurant on Mack, between newport and Lakeview? It was called Wimpy's, but you could barely make out the weathered sign. It was run by a woman named Sarah, she was a large woman with white hair she wore in a bun. They mostly sold hamburgers.

They seemed to do a good business in the 50's--60's, then business slacked off as the area declined. I often wondered what her story was, and waht happened to her. I heard her dh was a WWI veteran, disabled, and lived in the back of the restaurant.

That area is torn down today. does anyone else remember this?
