Adrian, Texas is famous for being the Route 66 town that is the midpoint of the 2,278 miles between Santa Monica, CA and Chicago, IL. Adrian is also home to the Bent Door Cafe which is listed on the Texas National Register of Historic Places as well as noted as a Route 66 Historic Landmark.
The Bent Door Cafe and Midway Station opened in 1937 as the Kozy Kottage Kamp. Bob Horris reopened a decade later after a fire consumed the Kamp and renamed it Tommy's Cafe and Phillips 66 Station. 08-06
UPDATE 08-21 : About 15 years ago, there was optimism that the Bent Door Cafe would be a diner once again. The plan was to reopen this icon of the Mother Road as a 1950s diner with a patio for outside dining. See this old Route 66 News article for that 2006 alert. Today the current owners have plans to reopen the cafe and are restoring the place. Let's all respect the property in the meantime. 08-21

Magnolia Cafe South

The Magnolia Cafe business dates back to 1979 when it opened at its location on Lake Austin Boulevard and was named as the Omelettry West. The Lake Austin location closed down in April 2020 partially as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Magnolia Cafe South opened its doors on South Congress in 1988.
Regardless, it's great to see that neon signage at this location on S. Congress. Hopefully the cafe will last another 40 years. See more information at the Magnolia Cafe website.11-20
