I lived in Fairborn from 1944-1952 as a young child. We used to go into downtown Dayton occasionally for church and then top it off with dinner at a restaurant that I loved. It was elegant with white tablcloths and napkins. There were brass hitching posts outside with horse heads. And they used heavy red water glasses. Very classy, even to a 5-year-old. My memory is that it was called something like Ferris & Buell. Does this ring a bell with anyone and is the restaurant still in existence?
Actually I think it was Service & Buell's. (Obviously I was mixing it in my mind with Ferris Buehler's Day off).

I went to school with Becky Service from elementary through high school where we graduated from Fairmont in 1961. Had a meal or two downtown myself. Believe it was on first street but not positive. Often wondered what happened to them all.
Was this in Fairborn? I have a memory of going to a restaurant with my parents in the early 50's in Faurborn. Heading out toward Langs Chevy, it was on the left side of the road and I tend to remember the ground dropped away behind the restaurant and you were overlooking that air field. Back around 72 there was a Holiday Inn somewhere in the same area but across the street. I also remember a Hasty Tasty??? just past Langs across from the little strip shopping center. I learned to bowl at a bowling alley at the top of that hill. ---------- 87 Buick GN
