Here is a good one, in 1954 or 55. My dad would put ice in the swamp cooler and tin foil on the TV antennas to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still.

The food is still Tip Top. There is one one of the original waitresses left. I really wish they would update the place a little or build a second location. |

Absolutely! Along with Big John's Steak House a short zig-zag away from the Tee Pee. Awesome steaks and ambience at both restaurants. |
