I always look for existing pictures around the web of pictures of the Tick Tock. I just did a search again and this is what Google now says...
--> The historical Tick Tock Restaurant (located at 1887 Central Ave. in Colonie, NY) no longer exists and photographs of the original building are extremely rare. Historical Details: Location: 1887 Central Ave., Colonie, NY (formerly next to Jack's Chinese restaurant) Status: Burned down and replaced by another structure. Owners & Lore: Owned by June and Roman Welyczko; it was run by June and her twin sister Jane, with the local catchy slogan "Have a Quickee at the Tickee". Because the building was destroyed by a fire prior to the digital era, local historical groups and community members have actively searched for surviving photos—particularly of the exterior—with very few public images available.
