Longtime Longview resident Josh Mitchell has long dreamt of recreating a beloved 1950s-style diner from his childhood to remind other people of the value of slowing down to eat good food.
Mitchell, who has lived in Longview for the last decade, said he grew up in Arkansas with a ârough backgroundâ that never lent itself well to sentimental memories. But he cherishes the time spent in a small town diner in Hot Springs. Nothing seemed to cut through hardships quite like a homemade burger, fries and chocolate shake.
Jayâs Jukebox Burgers on Commerce Avenue â which opens this week in the old Lynnâs Ice Cream, Yogurt and More location â brings to life Mitchellâs dream.
