katzpjs 50 Posted June 23, 2007 Suddenly I'm remembering my childhood days on Route 66 with my dad and seeing signs advertising, "HAMBURGERS! TEN FOR ONE DOLLAR!". My dad would never stop, we ate where the truckers ate.Too bad this place was closed David, I think you missed out. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted June 23, 2007 Not to worry. I've eaten in plenty of out of the way places on this little sojourn. In Eureka Springs, we ate at a little dive that advertised Ark/Mex cuisine. Now if that isn't cross breeding, I don't know what is. Last night it was pulled pork BBQ on Beale Street in Memphis. You know that pic of yours in the bio where the mirror gives you a barrel shape? I'm starting to look like that in real life. But I'm having a wee of a time. And, I too, have mostly fond memories of heading west on route 66 as a kid when my parents and two sisters were loaded up to leave Iowa and head to Glendale, Ca. to visit the grandparents. If only I could relive those days. I'd even promise to be a better kid. Cheers Link to comment
katzpjs 50 Posted June 23, 2007 One of the things I really miss the most of that era is seeing the Burma-Shave advertising on the fenceposts along the highways. Sigh...These signsWe gladlyDedicateTo men who've hadNo date of lateBurma-Shave... and another one:On curves aheadRemember, sonnyThat rabbit's footDidn't saveThe bunnyBurma-Shave Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted June 23, 2007 Love those Burma shave rhymes. How I remember them. They used to be all over the Iowa countryside when I was growing up. Link to comment
alight 0 Posted June 24, 2007 with so many holes (sorry, openings) in the trailer, it's good the serving window is painted in a different colour. Who knows, a hungry traveller could get confused, come to a wrong window (perhaps thinking they serve pizzas there), and wait till he/she drops from exhaustion. Do you realize what kind of opportunity this kind of food serving offers? - a clever entrepreneur could actually drive this on a highway and serve food to passing motorists without even stopping! Now here is an idea for you, Dave. Care for a burger at 60mph on an interstate? Cheers, Micheal Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted June 24, 2007 Now you are pushing the nutometer's upper limit. Of course that's natural for you. Thanks for the idea, though. Link to comment
susan stone 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Thanks for taking me along on your trip, because of your fine "editorial" photos of places visited I get to be a Gypsy too. I've been to Taos Pueblo many times, can't say I remember this fine diner though. Now see how well that sign reads in RED! Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted June 26, 2007 I've got quite a bundle of stuff collected. Unfortunately, I've only had internet here and there, and very little time to process anything and upload. You need not worry, my dear, I'll be boring everyone for quite awhile with my less traveled travel photography. Link to comment
