The Highlander: Remembering Hillsboro dining in the 1960s • • Ladies and gentlemen, now that we’ve had a steak and some Drambuie at Stanforth’s Steak House, where should we go next?
Today, we have Alley 21 and Highland Lanes in Hillsboro, but in the 1960s, there was the Highlander. Let’s take a short drive over to 972 West Main Street.
The Highlander Restaurant dates back to the early 1950s, and construction on the Highlander Bowling Lanes began in the summer of 1959. The restaurant was owned by Harold M. Day, and later by Mae Rosselott Means.
In June of 1954, the Highlander Restaurant officially opened its drive-in service, offering a free coffee or ice-cold lemonade to patrons. Back then, a Highburger served with French fries and slaw was 60 cents. A Highburger itself was 45 cents. A steak sandwich with fries was 75 cents, and a chicken sandwich with slaw and olives was also 75 cents.

Yost kicks off Sunshine Week with release of updated âYellow Bookâ Dave Yost COLUMBUS – Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has released the 2021 edition of the Sunshine Laws Manual, a one-stop resource for information on the Ohio Public Records and Open Meetings Acts.
The manual, commonly known as the “Yellow Book,” reflects the past year’s law changes and legal decisions affecting Ohio’s open government laws. The attorney general’s Public Records Unit annually updates the manual to help citizens understand their rights and to help public servants understand their obligations under the laws.
“Secrecy in any relationship destroys trust a friendship, a marriage or a business partnership. Transparency builds trust,” Yost said. “More now than ever, we in government need to build trust with those we serve. It starts with openness in public decision-making and the records that document it.”
