Twohey's Restaurant

Not sure why this crying fella has a pin on his nose at a restaurant.

UPDATE 10/02 : Twohey's was originally a drive-in burger stand/ restaurant complete with roller-skating car hops and window trays. Twohey's billed itself as the home of the stink-o burger, essentially a hamburger smothered with grilled onions. The character on the sign is the head of a waiter logo, who originally carried a tray with stink-o burger on it, hence the clothespin and tears. The stink-o and other burger stand fare are still available on the menu but sadly the car hops and drive-in are long gone and the restaurant has shifted to a family dining environment. Many thanks to Joseph McLaughlin for information above. 10-02
