The Groundhog Did It-- Part 4-- The Old Tip-Top Cafe

I was more than a little happy to find the building where the Tip Top Cafe was located open and even if I wasn't particularly hungry, I went in to eat something and sit where it all happened.

It is now called ABC, standing for Athenian Broiled Chicken.

They have reasonable prices like one-third pound burger and fries for $5, gyro, fries and pop for$6.99 along with shish kabobs and other Greek fare.

Unfortunately, a couple was sitting right at the crook in the wall where Andi and Bill were sitting in the movie, but I sat the next table over, where Ralph and the other guy were sitting, "Morons, your bus is leaving."

It would be even better if they recreated the Tip Top from the movie, but at least it is open again.

Too bad that the actual site of Bill's puddle was covered up with landscaping improvements, but the marker was moved a few feet away. I think they should have done the landscaping around it.

One other place that you could see just the other side of the old man begging on the corner is the Swiss Maid Bakery. One day, Bill Murray went in and bought out the place and gave it to crew and onlookers.

I saw a man of about 28 standing outside the Swiss Maid holding what appeared to be a baby in a blanket, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a golden retriever puppy. Talk about your spoiled dog.

I Have to Wonder About the Guy, But at Least I Got to Eat in the Tip Top. --RoadDog
