OrangeTV has a new batch of vintage photos posted on his Remember The Roxy web site today, including this one of the old Templin’s restaurant in the 1960s. I’ve been here long enough to have eaten at the restaurant. Which became Murphy’s for a short period after Duane Hagadone/Jerry Jaeger grabbed Templin’s, the old North Shore, and the Western Frontiers hospitality empire from Bob Templin in 1983. Did you ever eat at Templin’s or Cloud 9 of the old North Shore Resort?
Outstanding In His Field: Jared Phay probably doesn’t know me from a hole in the ground, but I’m gonna congratulate him anyway. I know Jared, his mother and his grandparents. I even got to know his uncle, the detective, via email. Jared, who coaches basketball at North Idaho College, was just named Region 18 coach of the year after a stellar season with his NIC Cardinals. I watched Jared play basketball back in the mid-‘90s. That was when he was attending Falls Christian School, and our son Willie was playing basketball for Sandpoint High/Marianne Love, Slight Detour. More here.

We had many dinners at the old Templins. The food was really good as far as I can remember. And I’m sure it was or we wouldn’t have kept going back there.

I also know Jared. We grew up together in church. My family and I are extremely proud of his accomplishments. However his biggest accomplishment is remaining true to his faith. His integrity carries over into coaching. Congratulations to Jared, his wife Tami, Ron and Jeanne.

Templins was wonderful. Growing up in Spokane, on Sunday, the family would hop in the Buick and drive over (Hwy 10) to Cda every Sunday for the Sunday Drive. We usually had dinner. Templins was one of the best. The old Tony’s, the Sourdough and others.

I ate at both - I especially remember a birthday dinner at Cloud 9. I was so impressed. We had so many people waiting on us!! Including someone running over to light my Mom’s cigarette!!!

Oh - while cleaning out my Mom’s house I found a casette of Kelly Hughes from 1983! Idaho Born it was called. I know it belonged to my Sister who graduated with him from Post Falls High. He looks so young and I need to pop it into a casette player and give it a listen.

Kelly and the guys are really very good. They played at a private lake party this summer that I went to. Had a beer or two together.

For several years running, my then boss enjoyed early Tuesday morning breakfast meetings at Templin’s. The food was excellent, but the meetings were way too frequent! ;)
My wife’s extended family were really into Sunday dinners together. We gathered frequently at Templin’s, Happy Hour, Log Cabin, Athletic Round Table, Shady Rest, Tony’s and the Clark House when they served Sunday dinners there. Cloud Nine not so much, but Shore Lounge got some of my individual business!

I used to stop in at Templins for happy hour once in a while. Speaking of Kelly Hughes, I never met the man, but I knew his father, Ed. Ed Hughes owned the Fish Inn and the spit at the mouth of WolF Lodge Creek where he parked a floating restaurant called the Green dolphin. I bar tended for him occasionally. The fish was closed back then, but his sister-in-law lived in it.

Duffer! My grandparents were big into Sunday dinners, too. We usually met at Templins, the Log Cabin or that Chinese restaurant downtown, that OTV reviewed but I can never remember the name of.

I went into Templins a number of times in the early ‘70s. Our church used to hold meetings for Young People there. So you know it was long ago. I haven’t been to a church service in decades.
“Kiddie-corner” from Templins’ was the Desert Hotel’s swimming pool, adjacent to the Hotel Itself, which was further up the bloock.
