  1. I think Jack’s is in Biggs…I’ll need to check up on that though. If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s still there.

  2. I also think that Jack’s is or was in Biggs. I think it may be gone today though replaced with a new truck stop and McDonalds. ;-(

    Check out the mountains behind the new structure in Google Street View and compare them with Jack’s skyline.

  3. My father made that sign in front of the Town House in Newport Oregon.
    I think that is also his car that is visible. His shop Newport Neon was right next door.
