Perry Boys’ Smorgy in the 1960s offered cafeteria-style lunch for $1.15 and dinner for $1.75 in the Crescent V Center near the state line.

Next door to the right was Raley’s Supermarket and Lawrence’s Department Store.

Years after Perry Boys, Sizzler Restaurant also occupied that corner in 2003, just prior to the remodeling of the center.
