Of course! Burger Chef was at the bottom of College Hill, right across from the 'cork works', which has been torn down and is a part of Geneva College. I think the Burger Chef building is now a car wash.....
I loved the Orams doughnuts with the white sugary creamy centers that wasnt quite whipped cream but not quite icing...I LOVED the library, the Eat N Park, Schlotters flowers are the best for 100 miles. My first french fries were at the McDs on the Brighton end of town. I miss the bread clock on the hill. I climbed to the "G", I swam at Merada before it had waves, remember that cranky guy who ran that old toy store CRAMMED with stuff? The houses rock at Christmas.
I learned to drive in the high school parking lot (where I went to nursery school). Did I have milkshakes at Hoffmans? Best thrift store and super car cruise these days. What was that burger place across from the swimming pool? Something Burger... D & G pizza had salty sausage..mmm.. Hot Dog Shoppe...need I say more... I used to climb down past the railroad tracks and down to the dam at the end of 5th Street after playing at the playground... I wish I could have seen it in its heyday.
The story from Linwood is maybe the best of all the youtube clips from Woodske. I really enjoyed it.

Bonnage's- the toy store run by a guy who apparently didn't care for children very much.
