Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Large opened Skinny's Cafe at this location in 1939 after a fire had destroyed an earlier location. It closed for good in 1958. The cafe featured a large lunch counter in one corner that had 15 stools for seating. The site was a camper sales business when we went by in 2023.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more

Did You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
