Small Town Diners

Our town, as most small towns do, has one of those small soda fountain diners in one of the buildings that seems to change hands every other month. While the food is never that stupendous, the ambiance usually is if you get into it a little bit. Pictures of old cars or old movie stars on the wall reminds us that life used to be just that simple. I find myself just relaxing in the diner, able to take a breath, away from the busy life outside. I did notice that it's never that crowded with people...which is probably why they change hands every other month. I challange you to try one out this summer. Do it not only to patronize a local establishment, doing your share to keep it in business; but also for the moments of calm you may feel when you think of the life you may experience if you had lived in earlier times. Or maybe it's just the company you keep that choose to go with you to places like that. That's a true friend that will eat the fried food, tough steak, or stale deli sandwich with you. It's all good.
