Checker Bar and Grill getting new owner/management

[IrishSpartan]

When did Checker move, do you know? I went for lunch as a kid quite a few times [[when I'd spend the day at work with Mom), probably 4 or 5 times a year. I don't remember where it was. I don't ever remember a Big Boy downtown [[except me, and I did go as Big Boy for Halloween once). Must have been a long time ago.

I want to say early 80's. It was definitely still Big Boy in 1975-76 and for some years after that time.

I never made it to the old location. My first visit was with a colleague I had worked with from 1980-82. I recall how he raved how good the burgers were. So, I would guess they were in that location by 1982, but it's possible I had lunch with this colleague after we quit working together.
