But at one time there was a Johnny Guarneaus Golden Spike Restaurant Now a Mexican Restaurant after several revisions and a Howard Johnson's restaurant and motel which became an Indian restaurant known as the Bombay and featured a white elephant made of wire with green ivy growing in it. and now is a personnel care home and CVS drug store and across the street was Beacon AMC a car dealer which became Yellow Knife Trading Company which burned down and is now a breakfast restaurant called First Watch.
But all 3 business played part in a riddle in early 80s when an add ran with clues in it to this day not fully explained what it was about .
" Where the golden spike was driven where the elephant grows green and the yellow knife burned is where our passions meet ."
Plus some other wording I can not recall.
At the time it was speculated as some weird advertising for the restaurants in the area maybe the location of a prize or was it a secret spy message ,or some one trying to meet back up with a lost love or someone being silly either way it would run for several months in the papers classified section and was never fully explained.
Myself and many others followed the message and its clues but never found anything to it.
even the press got involved and was not able to explain it. and so its another ne of those unsolved mysteries. of strange classified adds.
