For Tri-City, Washington State People – Pancake House 1967

Everyone else can say, “What do I care about an old pancake house!” and move along. This is the pancake house on George Washington Highway, 1967, in Richland, Washington. I loved that pancake house. We took a picture of it when we were leaving Richland because it was one of the favored places where the family went out to eat (which is going to happen when there are four children). We usually sat at a large circular table to the far middle left of the restaurant (as you’re facing the picture) and I’d take my school books with me and while waiting read stories on things like the fjords of Norway. The brothers and sister were usually totally obnoxious with someone whining and fighting. As the eldest, I was above that.

But from what I hear, no one was worse in a restaurant than my husband’s middle brother.

One of the reasons the quality of the pic is so poor is that at the time ColorCraft (where’d they go) was having this special deal where you’d get not only your picture but a teensy-tiny little bonus wallet copy attached at the side. About one and a quarter by two inches. This is from that bonus pic.

There is no other picture online of the pancake house on George Washington Highway, 1967, Richland, Washington.

    My dad used to tell some story or joke involving “George Washington Pancake”. Do you know any stories like that? I would appreciate it. I want to tell it to my family the next time we all ( 9 plus ) get together.

    Thank you,
    Jim

    Sorry, but I’ve never heard the joke.
