After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for offi cers Schmidt and Jenko when

begin to question their partnership.

I’m one of those persons who prefers to look to the past, rather than the future, for happiness and hope. You “can’t go back,” but you can sure see what has worked.

The Cozy Inn in Salina, KS is a good example of, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Back in 1921, the first White Castle hamburger restaurant opened in Wichita. That may have influenced the start of the Cozy Inn in 1922. Palm sized “slider” burg-ers were served with onion and pickle only, mustard and ketchup could be added with cheese never as an option. The cost was a nickle each, and would remain that price for 20 years.

Shortly after opening the small, six stool diner was purchased by a semi-pro baseball player named Robert Kinkel, who was looking

for a new way to make a living. It worked well for him.

A friend who grew up in Salina gave Lezlie and me a gift certifi-cate to try it out. Last Saturday we broke up a trip to Kansas City by stopping at the Cozy Inn for lunch. As we took in the scenery, which could still be back in the 1920s, she ate four while I man-aged to down six burgers.

10 sliders, two bags of chips and two cans of soda cost $15.00. Not quite pre-depression prices but it was worth every cent to enjoy the trip back in time.

One last note, it’s hard to sneak into the Cozy Inn and not have folks notice. In the tight quarters the smell from the grilled meat and onions permeates the diner’s clothing. So don’t think you can get away with stopping and not telling. People will know you took a visit to the past in Salina.
