On Shorpy:
Today’s Top 5

Got a last minute lunch

I ate here back in 1993 on my way up to Chicago. Turns out it was sold the following year. As far as I know, it was not re-opened, and I think the building is gone now.

Been there, done that!

I grew up not far from Kentland, and our family ate at the Nu-Joy a few times. Glad to see someplace I've been on Shorpy!

Been there

I drove through Kentland many times on a weekly commute down US-41 from Chicago to Terre Haute.

The Nu Joy Restaurant appears to still be there http://www.bizapedia.com/in/THE-NU-JOY-RESTAURANT-INC.html

Kentland, Indiana

A photo of the entire restaurant (entitled NU-JOY RESTAURANT, GREYHOUND BUS STOP, KENTLAND, INDIANA) courtesy of the Allen County Public Library. Kentland is in the northwest quadrant of Indiana, but not in Allen County. I believe that library (in Ft. Wayne) is known to have excellent historical reference department.
