FLASHBACK TO THE 50's

 
When we travel we like to eat in restaurants unique to the place we're visiting.  That way you can get a feel for the town and the people in it. Driving through the mountains we happened upon this old 50's diner. And we fell in love with it. Look at the decor.  Just like the places we remember from the good old days. The food was wholesome, like mom makes... but basic, with no added frills. And it tasted good. The cost was affordable, not too pricey. And the waitresses were down to earth and friendly as can be. It made for a wonderful meal in an interesting setting. NOT like going to a chain restaurant, at all.

DON'T YOU LOVE THE RED AND WHITE SEATS
AND CHECKERBOARD TILED FLOOR?

DON'T YOU LOVE THE WINDOWS?
ON THE OTHER SIDE WERE MORE TABLE AND CHAIRS.
 
 
EVEN THE BATHROOM WAS COOL
WITH IT'S ORIGINAL FIXTURES
AND THAT ROUND MIRROR
