A range hood fire destroys a roadside eatery classic on its 70th anniversary no less.

This is a real loss. Jimmy Johns was a classic place to get hot dogs, watch the model trains, and get a warm hello from the staff when you visited.

I hope they can rebuild, reopen and keep the original vibe alive, but the damage sounds extensive.

Sad.

What a bummer. I always made a point to stop here whenever I drove by, just to soak up some of that old-school vibe. OK, and to soak up some chili on a nice snappy natural-casing hot dog too.

But the place itself was a large part of the appeal, so it's very sad to know so much of that must have been destroyed. I can't imagine it would be easy to replace that train set. But I certainly hope they can rebuild, and eventually have a belated 70th birthday party!
