HOT! WHEW! Not what I expected the weather to be. Anyway, had to eat at the original Papa Haydns! Ate there several times. Just can not go to the one on NW 23RD, as I started going to the SE location when it opened, and cannot deviated from that path. Always been a SE girl! Went to Henry Theilie’s several times.


Even got talked into ordering the spaghetti with friend chicken livers. Last time there was right before it closed, and Mildred Schwaub and Ron Wyden were there as well, getting their last “fix” of Henry Theilie’s! Went on many dates at “Rimksey.” Loved to suggest the place to stuffy SW Portland guys. Always sent them upstairs to the bathroom. Even though I knew “he” would be there, the “man in the suit” always startled me! I wish I would have thought of going there while home this past summer. Saw on facebook that one of my former middle school students from the Milwaukie area has discovered it. There is hope for this new generation coming up! Hi, Christine, I totally remember Buttertoes! My mother and I used to go there when I was a little girl for special lunches. All the sandwiches were named after children’s stories or characters: Thumbelina, The Country Mouse, The City Mouse, etc. My favorite was the Country Mouse, a turkey sandwich with lettuce and sprouts and tomatoes. My mom always got the City Mouse Sandwich (and eventually, so did I!) which was turkey with cranberry sauce and cream cheese.
