today’s Knox column talks about sea galley becoming memory lane.

Which I think was a 50’s diner style. Wasn’t that what nautical nellies was at one time?

Nautical Nellies was the Blue Coyote earlier, but i don’t know what it was before that.

As the acknowledged world expert in this topic, I can confirm, yes, it did have something of a retro theme but not the chrome/red vinyl/barstool counter look of Louie Louie's and the other similar retro 50s diners. Ken Hole was aiming more to the Lawrence Welk crowd offering dining and dancing.

What was a famoso space at market square. I liked that one. before sunset grill or whatever.

And for some of us the 80s (at least the latter half) were even better!

80 years on, and our night life is still maxed out at 2AM for clubs, and most late-night eateries are closed by midnight or 1AM.
