A great place to take family and friends from out of town . . .
which is just what we did when my relatives were visiting last month and I took the above photo. We are lucky to live just a few blocks (within walking or biking distance if you wish) from this nationally famous local landmark.

We should have eaten here (not Taco Bell!) when we first moved to town in 1988. But in fact, having breakfast for the first time at The Triple XXX, on a sunny-side-up Saturday morning in 1993, was the last thing Gerry, little Ben, and I did (with our friend Logan) before heading down to Indianapolis to catch a plane to Philadelphia, where we lived for the next 11 years. Why did we wait so long to check out the home of "On The Hill, But On The Level"? Too late, we knew what we had been missing and would be missing for years to come. Since our return to West Lafayette, we have been making up for lost time. Come visit us, and we'll take you there!

  1. A great visit and a great lunch at the Triple XXX (although I never figured out if that meant xxx xxx xxx)! I love your description of it, too.

  2. Peg,
    We have always wondered the same thing -- does Triple XXX really mean 9X?!
