Mighty Mouse and elephant still there. The restaurant is in a 1937 grade school gymnasium filled to the brim with pop culture relics. But Mighty Mouse and the ghostbusters car out front are free photo ops if you are not hungry.

The temperature was 89 degrees, so at first we thought this was a mirage: a big, weird statue in front of the old high school. A Ghostbusters ambulance and the Pacer from Wayne's World are parked behind it.
