I got this e-mail today from Ramona Kiewert, co-owner of the Bent Door in Adrian, Texas, on how progress has been with th old Route 66 business:
The Music is playing and the Plane’s flying at The Bent Door. Progress has been good this summer so far; the office area has now been painted as well as the souvenir area. The ceiling is in the process of being painted and the outside has one coat paint. We are waiting for a day when the wind is calm so we can finish the outside. So when you come out our way stop by and look inside. We are still making trips back and forth from East Texas to the Panhandle. Hoping to get more done each time we are there. Our June date has come and gone and our work goes on.
We have had a lot of visitors this month […]. Meeting everyone and hearing their stories, to know that there is so much interest in The Bent Door has been a blessing. After 60 years The Bent Door is now the official name, and our web site is www.bentdoor.wordpress.com. Thanks for all the encouragement from around the world. May God bless everyone, Roy & Ramona Kiewert and family.
The plane is an illustration of a plane with an animated propeller that was long part of the Bent Door’s decor. And a jukebox was used for many of a Saturday night dance at the restaurant/dance hall before the days of the interstate and the bypass.
