What's that place downtown
Milton what has the movie house marquee and you can get an
early breakfast at. It's
Roxies, opened in 1971 or there about. Roxies was named for Ed
Scotts, aka Scottie,
mother, Roxie Trimmper, . At first it was a small gift shop,
then a bit
later the lunch counter,
or as it was, a soda fountain that worked it's way up to a lunch
counter.
It\was 1974 before it was a
full scale restaurant. Helen Walls Scott, proprietor.
Long time employee, Jackie
Phillips. Open at 6 am, to coffee up the working men. Fast
food breakfast can be had
too. Lunch is homemade soup and sandwiches. Dinner menu
specials are available,
usually chicken and dumplins, Helen's special.
1983 saw Scottie open a
banquet room in the old theater section of the big building, open
to
parties, meetings and busy
night overflow.
Many young Milton girls
stated their careers at Roxies. Jackie has been there forever.
Breakfast served anytime,
and there are newspapers, magazine rack, gifts, cigars, cards.
Truely, the place where
the neat, eat and chat, catch up on Milton's latest.
