Interesting stories, facts, history:
Myrt and Bill’s started as a lunch wagon on the corner of Northwest Highway and Central Road in 1948. Their lunch wagon opened in the spring and closed in October until the next spring. By late 1949, their business was in need of a place to serve their customers year round so they built a permanent structure at 302 W. Northwest Highway.
Myrt and Bill’s was referred to as “A friendly place to eat” and was known for their New York style hot dogs and burgers.
In 1952, Myrt and Bill sold their business to Mell and Paul Caltagirone and moved to California.
