His Father Took Them There as a Boy

I used to eat at the ancient Jimmy Wong's until they closed up about 10 years ago. An old friend, in his 60's now, had told me that his father used to take the family there when he was just a boy. The food was great.
The current restaurant there, Asian Bistro, maintains the old sign. I have eaten there a couple of times, too. Food's not as good, but they're open 'til 3am nightly, a selling point.

@aglennc @satinscape @tristansmum Yes, I love this old signs & the like.
The old friend in this story is the same guy who lost the linoleum store from the photo of about a week before. Actually the father in this story was the original owner of the flooring store.
