djrage Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Just looked at 9505 Jensen on Google Earth and took it time slider back to 12/1978. It's blurry but from what I remember of them, it looks like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Prince Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Some old photos. First one. In 1929. On Lemon Ave. Dallas, Texas Doug Prince. My Grandfather standing in front of the Yacht Restaurant on South Main. That Yacht has its own interesting story. The site of the original 1929 hamburger stand on Lemon Avenue in Dallas.

Doug Prince Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Reading all of these stories has made me hungry so I just prepared one. My father used to say if it's not dripping down to your elbows it wasn't prepared correctly. Just found this site. Love reading all the stories. Thanks for the memories.

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 15 cents for a hot dog translates to $2.24 today, 20 cents for a hamburger is $2.99, so prices haven't gone up much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Prince Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Yes. I don't know how a profit could be squeezed out of a 15 cent Hotdog. But apparently you could if you squeeze it hard enough. I remember working at the Drive-ins many years later and my father decided to raise the prices of the Hamburger to one dollar (they were 80 cents at that time). I thought no one will pay a dollar for a hamburger. This will kill our business. But it didn't, for a few years it least.😊 Today we just don't realize how much prices have increased on everything in the past hundred years. I guess it's because it happened so slowly and we expected it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince's also had good fried shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard about this yesterday. It's pretty far off the beaten path for me but I hope that they're able to use it as a springboard to reestablish the brand in other new locations. I had high hopes for the location on Ella when it first opened, but alas, it was not to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
