Classic Diner
Throwback Payphone
My friend Vincie and I were eating lunch at Totin’s Diner on Route 19. I had a breakfast at the counter just last Friday and enjoyed it. We were in the area and I said you’ve got to see this retro vibe. The boomerang design Formica top table , the red vinyl chrome chairs, the counter, the booths, the artwork and a classic checkerboard floor.
She ordered Liver and Onions and said it was very good. Had enough real mashed potatoes for a couple of meals.

Buster Brown was winking
Mary and I were at Jack and Benny’s Old North Diner for breakfast in Columbus. The neon sign was actively winking. Here’s the history of Buster Brown Shoes, popularized at the 1904 World’s Fair. Yes, that’s his little dog Tige by his side.
