The Black Angus room was noted for it's fabulous steaks They used to have great record hops in the 2nd floor ballroom sponsored by KKJO radio We knocked the plaster off the ceiling below by stomping one night to the Mexican Hat Rock The hotel management no longer allowed the record hop to be held in the hotel so it was moved to the Eagles Lodge on North 9th St In 1978, Roubidoux Center, a modern, multimillion dollar, 6 story office building replaced the hotel. American National Bank, & other businesses, etc occupied the new building Photos #2 & #3 donated by Terry McGinnis Photos #5, #6, & #7 donated by John Fulmer |

The "Y" BBQ & Roadhouse sat on the town's outskirts, the junction of North 169 and 71 Highways This is now one of the busiest intersections in the city and the area is really developing with a new shopping center, Lowes, Walmart, Sams Club, large movie complex, resturants and other retail businesses soon to be opening in 2005 & 2006 The resturant housed several slot machines and had 10 cabins in back, which were called, tourist courts. Many of the cabins are still standing today and are occupied by small businesses On the south side, a filling station used to stand. The building burned down in 1939 or 1940. Across the highway, where the Mo Highway Patrol now stands, was the Thames Stadium, ball field and race track On the northeast corner, where St Joseph Tobacco now stands, was the Ogden Restaurant.
