Rover down and out in a windstorm!
Some of you in Greater Lafayette are familiar with the Rover Statue that used to appear in front of the West Lafayette Dog n Suds.
This 7 foot tall fiberglass statue stood proudly as a wonderful photo backdrop for 3 or more years in front of the West Lafayette Dog n Suds until a very strong gust of wind proved too great a match for the hollow figure.
If there is a one of you loyal Dog n Suds fans who is familiar with fiberglass work and would like to take a shot at it, leave a comment here.
He is in a terrible state of disrepair and will need all of the king's horses and all of the king's men to put him back together again.
One more view still looking south east. US 52 was a 2-lane road back then. The same building shown here still exists under the siding on the outside. The inside looks almost the same as it did back then. Many of the same windows are still in place! Many more coats of paint on the inside as well!
This picture is from late 1950's. Notice the car hops had to sit outside! This shot is looking south east, Kossuth Street would be in the background today.

We intend to tie together our very active Facebook Page, our online promotions, Twitter and have a landing page for anyone out there searching for us on the web.
We have settled on this theme design and will most likely export it as a wordpress theme that will be privately hosted. At which point we will be uploading exciting content as often as possible with pictures, interviews, behind the scenes views, contests, etc.
We want to give you every opportunity to be a part of this process so if there is something you don't see here that would make your visit to our site more enjoyable, please let us know.
As we move forward into the beginning of our season we have began our initial meetings and passersby will begin to notice activity at the restaurant next week. We hope to be able to get you updates more frequently with much more content rich posts.
Thanks for all you do!
