US Auto Title Loan Reno, NV

This US Auto Title Loan office is a former Valentine diner. It opened as Landrum's Hamburger System No. 1 in 1947. The diner was known as the Chili Cheez Cafe from the 1980s until 2000. It then became a real estate office. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Update: this photo was taken in 2008. Around 2009, it became Pat's New York Hot Dogs. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Landrum's Cafe Sparks, NV

Landrum's Cafe is another Valentine Diner. I assume this one was also owned by Lowell Landrum and installed shortly after the one in Reno. Does anyone know the history of this place? For more, see this website.
