Yes, I do.  Up until a few years a go we had a rather silly looking
thing that was the old building with a new style roof.  The tops of
the arches still stuck out the top.  When I lived in Denver about
three years ago, I found four of the original style (White and red tile
with the arches "supporting" the sloping roof).  One was torn down and
another one had a new one built down the street, but they had the old
one open during the summer.  One has this little guy on the sign that
says "speedy service."

For you Denver Burgo-nostalgics the remaining ones are located (my
memory is hazy).
	Wadsworth and 6th Avenue
	Federal and the Boulder Turnpike (I think)
	In Arvada near I-70, I can't remember the street name,
		begins with R I think.
The one that was torn down was on Broadway on the south side of
the city and I have the feeling that there used to be one near
Cinderella City as well.
