Great find and can’t imagine the smile and wonderful memories all the sweet memorabilia brought back for you. Sidenote I loved me some Kips Big Boy when they were around.

It would have to be extremely vintage because it has been a really loooooonnnnnggggg time.

Hahahahaha...

Yessir, very cool. Back in the day, we had a Kip’s Big Boy restaurant, in Ft Worth, at I-30 and S. University Dr

I remember one in Fort Worth as a kid. I seem to remember going there a couple of times. I mostly remember the statue in front of the restaurant. I was thinking it was on camp bowie....was there just the one in fort worth?

There was also one at 820 and Davis blvd. in Richland Hills, great ice cream treats!

The memories are what is making it take so long to go through things.

Well, I don’t really know how to reply other than G-d Bless you for what you have been through and I hope they bring more joy than pain.

Not bad for a Motown Girl!

Kip's had the greatest ice cream sundae's in the world. Back in the sixties we had one at the corner of Lemmon Ave and Inwood.

Ah yes. I remember the Lemmon and Inwood location. Man that was a long time ago!

Thank you for sharing.

They're all good memories. I have to stop after a little while and have a moment. I miss that gal something fierce.


Kips put their ice cream sundae's in a frozen metal tumbler. They were awesome.

I know how bittersweet it must be for you to find these treasures from Alecia, and I'm so glad you shared them here. I grew up eating Big Boy burgers (in Detroit) with my family and one of my last memories with Dad was eating dinner there by the airport before flying back home. Big Boys has always been one of my favorite restaurants growing up, and I frequented a bunch of them up there from the mid 60's to the late 90's. It's crazy, but not impossible, to think that your Alecia may have been my waitress at some point in time if she was up there during those years.

It's possible that she was. She moved here sometime in the early 80's. She started out waiting tables and as you can see by the name tag, worked her way up to manager.
