This is a restaurant that deserves interior pictures. Like the Loring Cafe, the dining experience here has more to do with the atmosphere than the actual cuisine. It's the best re-use of an old drug store since W. A. Frost in St. Paul.

In the 1960's then street troubador Bob Dylan got his music start on this Grays's Drugstore corner. I lived in Dinkytown for a dozen years in the 1970's and early eighties, well after the bob Dylan era.

My father graduated from the U of M Journalism School in 1948. He would make frequent Sunday excursions back to his alma-mada and Dinkytown over the years. I remember tagging along with him and we'd always make three stops. 1--Nelson's Office Supply, where he'd buy typewriter paper, correction tape and carbon paper; 2. Crane's Bookstore (which will soon be another Loring club);
3. And Grey's Drugstore for a hamburger and vanilla malt
I felt sadly nostalgic when Grey's finally closed, but happy when I'd heard the Loring was taking over the space. They've shown a lot of integrity in renovating and moving into the old landmark.

When I attended Marshall H.S. in the late 40's, early 50's, I worked as a dishwasher and short order cook in Grey's. The pies were homemade and the ladies who baked them seldom missed one when my fellow worker Vernon LaCombe and I helped ourselves to a banana creme; our favorite!
