Subject: Crown
Cafe
My name is Justin Hunt and I live with my family in Jacksonville,
Texas. After my grandmother (Margaret Warren Hunt) passed away I recieved
a lot of family pictures, etc. As a child history always interested
me and she would tell me lots of stories. When I came across your
magazine (which is awesome by the way), I thought I would like to
share some of my family history [with your readers]. |

of a Cafe my great-grandparents (Joseph Bailey Warren and Oleta Sides
Warren) used to own and run during the early to mid 50's. The name
was the Crown Cafe and it was open 24 hours a day. The Crown was said
to have had the best chicken-fried steaks in town. The builiding was
torn down a few years ago but for many years you could still see the
painted "Open 24 hours" sign on the window that my great-grandfather
had put there so many years before. |

to hear any stories that any of your readers might supply. Thanks
once again and keep up the good work on Texas Escapes. - Justin
