A local "Jack In The Box" fast food restaurant in downtown San DiegoCalifornia. June 2013.

Hi everyone!
Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page, from the city of Chicago Illinois USA.

My lovely wife Cheryl took this photograph during our recent June 2013 vacation to San Diego California.

Prior to the late 1970's, circa 1978 or 1979, the greater Chicagoland area was the home of several "Jack In The Box" fast food hamburger restaurants. They all moved west of the Missisippi River during this time. Why?
Chicagoans and other midwesterners enjoyed Jack In The Box food.

Jack in the Box was either the first, or one of the first fast food restaurant chains to introduce Drive Thru window service, wich was a new inovation during the 1960's.

This Jack In The Box , was located along the Pacific Highway in downtown San Diego California.

No longer featuring the clown drive thru speaker and colorful markings, Jack In The Box restaurants now have a toned down conservative image and a new logo,
