This was the Northeast corner of 500 South and 400 East in 2011. Before being taken over by Neff Floral, it was The Clock Cafe, owned and operated by Ray William Saunders for 40 years. True to its name, there was a clock right above the door. I ate there many times when I was living in the Broadway Apartments complex at 440 East 300 South with my grandmother in 1969.

I considered it the archetypical greasy spoon, but they had great food and always a warm and friendly reception. Sadly, I was unable to find any photographs of the cafe itself. The building has since been demolished and replaced by an apartment complex. Does anyone else remember The Clock Cafe? If you by chance have a photo of it, I’d love to see you post it in a comment.
