martin_z. Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 <p>Several years ago, I shot this in southern Florida. Does anyone know what and where it is? It's a long shot, I know, 'cause it could be anywhere from Ft. Lauderdale, to Miami, to the Everglades. Any help would be really appreciated.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_wong2 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 <p>The non-beer signs look like those in a Johnny Rocket but this looks very much like a bar instead of a diner.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanKlein Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 <p>Definitely a diner. Lighten it up. You can see it better. There's a menu sitting in a menu holder right above the ketchup bottle in the middle. The black couple is sitting at the counter and a couple is sitting at a table at the bottom. The black guy is wearing an undershirt and his lady friend a nightgown. Very strange. WOuldn't think this is in a upscale neighborhood, but then again it's Florida and hot. The sign to the left of the Malt sign at the top right appears to say "Ken Eats Here". Do you know a Ken?</p> Flickr gallery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alanklein2000/albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsimmons Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 <p>She's not wearing a nightgown and he's definitely not black. She could be Hispanic too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_z. Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 <p>Hey, I appreciate the help.</p> <p>I don't thing the people in the shot will identify where it is. It's all about the place, I believe. I did Google "Ken Eats Here", "American Fries", etc.</p> <p>Oh, well. I thought someone would know the location.</p> <p>Thanks, again.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_z. Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 <p>Oh, and there are Coor's signs, so I guess the place would serve beer. Hmmm...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_z. Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 <p>Thanks, Benjamin!<br> Yes, the font looks identical to the one at Johnny Rockets.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 <p>During WWII, <em>Stars and Stripes</em> - the GI newspaper - ran a picture of a town mainstreet, and asked people to identify it. They got hundreds of responses, each one identifying the street as one in their own home town. ;)<br> Frank's American photos also show the universal character of some of these things.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
