You're makin' me cry Mark
Seems like if I just turned my head just right I'd be there again.
And don't forget all the cool Diners and Sangwich Shops.
In Lawrence where I grew up it was Bea's Sandwich Shop on Broadway for a Veal Cutlet and an Orange Tonic, or Lawton's "By The Sea" (next to the canal - the only joint I ever knew that expanded to include a fire hydrant in the building) for a Hot Dog.
Cars with tailfins and Dalton's and Ford's Coffee Shop.
Meville's for coffee and pie and The Cedarcrest for a serious lunch.
Panheads and Flatheads everywhere along with "The DA's".
The comb in the pocket and Ronnie & The Daytonas for a nickel.
The Drive-In and the chicks on roller skates at A&W RootBeer.
I'd chuck everything these times have to offer to journey back 40-45 years.
Hey - "The Secret Weapon!"
