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.

I now live near Baltimore. I’m not sure if the Big Boy chain was ever here but a restaurant near me with lots of knick knacks on the wall has a Big Boy coin bank on a shelf.
