Hi,
Are you talking about the Big Wheel restaurant in Shingletown? Not sure what's going on with it lately, but several years ago it burned down; was rebuilt, then burned down again, right before it was supposed to re-open. I don't get by there much, so am not sure of the status, whether they're rebuilding again or not.

yes. I have not been to shingletown since early 1970's and my grand mother did not own it then but she did in the early 1960's are there any pictures around of it from those early years or a history of the restaurant?

I don't know about pics - you could try the Shasta Co. Historical Society -- http://www.shastahistorical.org/ -- they have a searchable database of photos.
Good luck,
Dee
