Thanks for reviving some great memories!
My husband , Lenny, used to eat at the Eldo most mornings and he obtained a painting from an artist who waitressed there. She did not sign the painting, which has hung in our living room over 40 years. I believe her name was Diane Cable. I would love to contact her. If you know her, please pass my information on to her.
Thanks! Kathy Webb.
