Column on Tony’s was memorable look back

Doug Pugh’s recent article "Something for what was Tony’s" certainly resonated with a lot of us Baby Boomers. Tony’s Famous Hamburger Cafe was a major part of Alpena landscape.

Back in the 1950s, eating at a restaurant was a very rare event. Let’s face it, money was scarce. Only once, when I was a kid, did I get to savor every bite of one of Tony’s famous onion-laden hamburgers, complete with a cold Coke.

Yes, the mystery cat was slinking in the background. Tony will always be an Alpena legend.
