~7:00 pm Saturday Sept 9, 2006. View Inside Of Owl Café, showing Front Windows, and At Right, Happy High School Reunion Crowd, Laurel MT

….The /\ Above /\ Shows (Henry Gurr’s 2006 Photo) View From Inside The Owel, and a scene the Narrator, Chris, & Sylvia might have seen, since there is no other restaurant anywhere closer, than The Owl Café’.

But I (Henry Gurr), And My Son David, Almost Did Not Get In !!
….On my second trip through Laurel, I almost did NOT get my interior photograph of the Owl Cafe' a second time. My son and I came here early evening and hungry. That night (as shown in my photo above, taken at that time), they were hosting a big High School Reunion, and had a "CLOSED " sign on the door. But we did not notice it and barged right in. That was Good luck!! Because once in, we could plead that we had come all the way from South Carolina, just to be there!!
Former owner Linda Frickel and her son Dirk Frickel, the current owner and chef, were very gracious and worked us into their very busy serving schedule, and even took considerable time to talk to us!. We experienced surprisingly excellent food!! And later learned the reason: Dirk had learned his cooking art very well at the Western Culinary Institute in Portland, Ore! What Luck again!! WOW!!! .

HISTORY: TIME MOVES ONWARD: Due to automation and modernization, RR crews are smaller and the need for a “stay awake” program has diminished. I understand the Owl was no longer open all night, in it’s most recent years.
