Remember when the stock yards were at 48th St and Washington? We lived near Hardy and University and when the wind was blowing South the unmistakable aroma wafted in.

I actually miss that.

BTW: Was the restaurant on the SE corner of University and Mill in the 60's the Peppermill?
Unless my memory completely fails me (which is possible!), the restaurant was called Buddy's. It had a Sun Devil motif with large color photos of ASU players lining the walls. I ate there frequently while attending ASU from 1965 to 1969. I can't remember which restaurant went in there after Buddy's closed.

Was it the Huddle?

There is a much higher resolution version of this photo I found in google images. The intersection of Mill and University did not look like this when I went to ASU. For one thing, there wasn't a Mobil station on the northeast corner at that time. I think there was a restaurant there. But since in the higher resolution photo I can see what appears to be one of the Papago buttes in the distance, this certainly could be the southeast corner of Mill and University. From the cars on the street and the style of the Mobil sign, I'd say this photo was taken in the late '50s. This appears to be the restaurant I remember except the color scheme is different and I'm pretty sure it wasn't called the Huddle when I went to ASU. I surmise the Huddle (which is a chain restaurant) was the original occupant of the building, but sometime after this photo was taken changed to Buddy's. This makes sense to me because there would be the same number of letters on the sign (not counting the apostrophe). But, I could be wrong!

It's still called that. It sits across from the Central/Encanto light rail station.

Upon further reflection, there may have been a gas station on the northeast corner in the late '60s. I just don't remember.

A bit later, the SE corner of Uni and Mill held a free standing steakhouse called The North Bank. Would have been early-mid 70s IIRC. I worked for that one a bit and also at the 40th st. and Camelback location, which was the original restaurant. They called it that because it was located on the north bank of the canal.

I liked the original location. North Bank Beef and Barrel.

I've now found several Arizona Republic ads from November and December, 1967 that definitively identify the restaurant at the southeast corner of University and Mill in the 1960s as Buddy's Coffee Shop.

Spent a lot of time in those cozy little sitting rooms in the bar section of the Tempe location. Lots of memories. You have the time frame right.

Smitty's Grocery Stores started at 16th St and Henshaw (Buckeye Rd, these days). We went to the grand opening of #1 and it was something to see in those days. So big and so many things like the delicatessen with the chickens going round and round as they cooked. It had to be sometime prior to 1963 because when President Kennedy was killed we bought the Arizona Republic for that day; I still have it somewhere.

South, on 16th St at Mojave St was the original Food City. We still did most of our shopping there; I believe it was less expensive. I think Sam Billings owned it but I do not remember for sure. I also think Johnny Loper was the "carry-out boy boss" for a sometime. Johnny Loper became well known for his famous automotive speed shop in Phoenix.
