I used to go there with friends, drink coffee and play pinball. Now that I’m on the subject of Big Ed’s that was my hangout in high school and in college.
We had a great chat, and a good cup of coffee, but I never did get the opportunity to go to Bill and Nada’s with him. “I’d never go into that place in uniform”. I asked him why we weren’t going to B&N, and he answered something like,
I was disappointed, as I had been to Bill and Nada’s on my own with friends, but never with my father. I assumed that meant we were going to Bill and Nada’s, but he took us instead to Big Ed’s (the original building at 1318 E 200 S just west of the University Pharmacy, which at that time had Bimbo’s in the basement, later to be replaced by The Pie.) As we left the school, he said, let’s get a cup of coffee and discuss this (the transgression). When I was attending East High School in the early 70’s, i was kicked out of school, for some minor transgression, and my father came to the school in uniform and in a police car to pick me up.
He was LDS, at least partially because he fell in love with a Mormon girl and married her, and joining the church must have been part of the deal.īill and Nada’s was where he went for coffee – by himself, or with friends, but not with family. He was a Salt Lake City police officer, and also ran a Brake Shop on 4th south and 8th East.
