There was one by Windsor I think near where the last remaining Shoney's is now? I think there was one other location somewhere else.
Marbach & 410 where the Taco Cabana is now.....Luther's should have stayed....

Would be early 1980's. I think it was called Ackumpucky's? Good burgers, though.
I love talking about old burgers. I do remember Ackumpucky's. I probably ate there twice or so. I think it either had a whole roll of paper towels, and over-sized salt and pepper containers, or both on each table. The building is still
there on Perrin-Beitel - rather unique looking.
