You sure? I was thinking more like a mask to hide her identity for what clearly looks like an active case of ringworm.

Is my memory of the location pretty accurate? And was there lattice fencing that you recall? I need to figure out if I have dementia. Lol

Right?! I’m going off a young teenager’s memory for this one. I moved to CA in 98 when I was in my early 20s, so I can’t even place names of streets anymore when my family (who are still local) mentions them.

As I told someone else, I found a corporate listing for that restaurant in 1985 but it was at 7 Upjohn St which would put it at JM. The place I’m thinking was right on South River Road right at the highway underpass.

I did find old matchbooks online too for both restaurants and Bedford Marketplace matchbook says “Jordan Marsh Mall” and the one for “Quackers” says Bedford Exit off 293. So helpful. Lol

I found a corporate listing for that name from 1985 and it has the listing a 7 Upjohn Street which would probably put it at Jordan Marsh. The restaurant I’m thinking of was right on South River Road right next to the highway underpass.

I swear there was one right next to the 293 underpass in the parking lot.

I do recall my father making some sort of lame Dad joke when we’d exited the highway to turn onto South River Rd. like “What do they serve with their soup at that place? Quackers.” but I don’t know if it was because of that place or a sign associated with the Sheraton Wayfarer at the opening to Jordan Marsh. You could get to the Sheraton from either the Bedford Mall or Jordan Marsh.

I’m not sure when it became a Quality Inn but it was still known owned by Sheraton back in 2000 when I had my wedding rehearsal dinner there. Don’t know the name of the restaurant though
