History

As for the restaurant:
"We are committed to the local community." We use only independent vendors, who in turn get their products from small farms and businesses themselves. During the construction of Snoose Junction we used as many recycled building materials as was possible. All of the interior wooden doors were salvaged from the Western District Courts Building. And yes, we even got the "Witness Room", and the "Judges Chambers"! The bench seats in the family dining area, were once the bleachers at Roosevelt High School. Our dividing "wall" between the pinball machines and the dining area was originally a bike rack thought to have actually been in front of our very own Snoose Junction. Every eating surface in the entire restaurant has been properly seasoned for nearly 45 years through a strict regimen of impact training at Leilani Lanes. Many thanks to the Re-Store for all above mentioned. The earthquake straps are attached with 105 year old lag bolts, unbelievably, they'd never been used before. The horizontal timbers were the oldest, most beat-up we could find; no telling how old, but we did a lot of work on them. We used insulation from the Environmental Home Store. The interior brick walls are from a train station reportedly somewhere in the South Carolina area. Finally, the Norwegian Flag - well, we found it framed into one of the walls and decided it should stay right here, at home.

That's about it, Thanks for trying us out. We hope to see you again real soon.

Emily, Mark and the rest of us here at Snoose Junction.
