Does anybody have a photo of Dalton restaurant. Post it on here. I was glad to get the work while going through school. Lot of fond memories there.Jim ellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501801448727519087.post-77724199830642230472013-07-05T12:43:20.457-04:002013-07-05T12:43:20.457-04:00I worked as a dishwasher, cleaning staff, and mowe...I worked as a dishwasher, cleaning staff, and mowed the Dalton's huge lawn in the 1960-61 time frame. First job. Loved it and always remember those days. The Dalton's were wonderful people.

My Grandma Sparks cooked there for many years as a widow and a retired School Teacher. My sister and I visited most every summer, where we were both given our own checkered dresses with white bleached ruffled aprons. I have so many fond memories of these times and the square dance we were able to attend out in a barn. Its so wonderful to see other folks remembering these good people.

Dalton's food was great, their location was perfect and word of mouth was their best advertising. However that all changed when the Mountain Parkway opened in 1963. Instead of a four hour trip from Hazard to Lexington, it was a 2 hour trip. People now had the option of waiting to eat in Lexington since it was much closer and they weren't starving by the time they got to Stanton. Now to get to Dalton's you had to exit the parkway and drive a couple of blocks on the Stanton interchange. A landmark that was so familiar to East Kentucky drivers was soon gone.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317006270413179850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501801448727519087.post-32806956476358665392009-05-09T19:48:00.000-04:002009-05-09T19:48:00.000-04:00If I had a dime for every time I counted the miles...If I had a dime for every time I counted the miles to get off the bus and go into Dalton's. Most kids say "are we there yet?" Me, I pondered "how many miles to Dalton's?" I would go to Cincinnati via Greyhound Bus. Dalton's was full of good food aroma and lots of happy people, smiles and I don't remember many frowns in those days,Idalee Hanselnoreply@blogger.com
