Elias Brothers Big Boy was a well known chain in Michigan. It was out hangout. We were so bad, we had out own table that was never given to anyone else after 7pm but us.

In 1960, a Bob's Big Boy opened up on Whittier Blvd. in Whittier, Calif. Lured by Bob's, as well as Jack's, the Jam-In, Whirly's, Wienerschnitzel and Taco Bell, teenagers would flock to "the Boulevard" for an evening of "cruising" in their cars on Friday and Saturday.

Jack's and the Schnitzel are still there, the Jam-In is now a Mexican restaurant, and Taco Bell now serves Korean cuisine, but Bob's and Whirly's have long since departed and so have the cruisers.
