Original Topper

OrangeTV/Get Out! North Idaho Facebooks: "The original Topper, 18th & Sherman, CdA. Not sure when the dining room was added on, as it currently stands (as Jeffrey's and 47 other things before that). One of my first memories as a kid was my aunt buying me a Coney dog from here once when I was sick. made me feel all better!" (Courtesy Old School CDA group/Keva Wolfe).

Question: I didn't get here in time for the original Topper. But I have fond memories of Topper, Too, near the current Les Schwab's Tire on Government Way. My church softball team would drop by their for ice cream for the kids after games. Did you frequent Lake City's Topper restaurants back in the day?
