It will be, as Tommy puts it, a soft opening and when he's sure that all is working well, he'll be having a grand opening. Long time coming, but we all wish him well. See you at the Chuck Wagon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035838759695962316.post-55769144943513712942009-08-24T09:19:34.911-04:002009-08-24T09:19:34.911-04:00Thanks to Williepitt for that information!Thanks to Williepitt for that information!Doug Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505068025953814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035838759695962316.post-89835926556397896772009-08-23T10:57:06.138-04:002009-08-23T10:57:06.138-04:00Doug, here's the contact information on Tom Ke...Doug, here's the contact information on Tom Ketchum:<br /><br />655 Western Tpke<br />Duanesburg, NY 12056-3801<br /><br />(518) 356-7902.Williepitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836415479249354899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035838759695962316.post-20061734366219394322009-08-23T10:43:31.403-04:002009-08-23T10:43:31.403-04:00Does anyone know how to contact Tom Ketchum, the n...Does anyone know how to contact Tom Ketchum, the new owner of the Chuck Wagon? I lived in Champaign for 30 years and ate at the CW, as we called it, several times a week in the 1970s. I have an original dinner plate and coffee cup from the diner and I would like to make a gift of them and see them re-united with the diner next spring when I plan to visit the area.Doug Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505068025953814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035838759695962316.post-50263871198938839152009-07-20T11:14:18.782-04:002009-07-20T11:14:18.782-04:00Thank you both for your updated information.

I was a graduate student at the University of Illinois in the late 1950's, when this diner was the first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise in the state, and I ate there many times. KFC was really good then!<br /><br />Now I live in Schenectady, NY, not far from Princetown (note spelling) where the diner is being revived. My wife and I went to look at it a few days ago. The new owner thinks he can have it operating in late summer or early fall, and my wife agrees. I'm not so sure, but we'll see.Williepitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836415479249354899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035838759695962316.post-30560806123300146692009-05-17T17:07:00.000-04:002009-05-17T17:07:00.000-04:00Wanted to let you know that I have an audio docume...Wanted to let you know that I have an audio documentary on the Chuck Wagon Diner restoration project available at my blog: http://twojerks.blogspot.com.
