Remember eating at VIP's occasionally as a kid. I mainly remember wanting to ride in the elevator. The ARCO station switched over to a BP not long after this if I recall.

We ate VIP'S in the early 1970's. I think it was a 76 gas station then.

VIPs didn't have the 76 station in the 70s. It was across the road. My Dad ran the 76 station from 1967 to 1988. And yet I never went to VIPs. It was Tom's Drive-In that we ate at, with their Hefty Henrys and cherry-lemon Sprites.

I worked at Clark door in the early '80's. My daughters first job was at Vips. Loved Tom's drive in.

Tom's Drive In was located at the north end of the 2nd street overpass, on land leased from Union 76. I believe. Owned and operated by Tom and Georgia Manfull.

Tom Manfull is still around & residing @ Down Manor. I bet he could tell a lot of tales about his drive in, it was a fun place.

I expect that VIP's was a magnet from the highway--not much for many miles east or west from either direction either direction. I have many happy memories with HRHS friends from late-evening dining and hanging out there shortly after it opened.

My kids loved Vip's chocolate chip pancakes. And they had coloring contests for the holidays too.

My girlfriend and i would sit up all night and plan out our future, we would drink coffee or a milk shake. I am glad we had all those talks at the VIPS. We are on our 42 year of marriage and still going strong.

VIPS was also on I-5 at highway 34 for many years, possibly more along the Interstates. A novel idea having food on a second level using less taxable land
