Hi again,
Just wanted to say that, although I have lived in a city or two, I am a country person through and through. But you show your city in such a way that I almost like it, and I have become a follower.
Blessings!

Several things come to mind when I look at this photo. First i wonder whether or not having this sort of bay window, so close to the sidewalk, is the usual in Greenwich Village. Then I wonder just how many coats of paint are underneath that pumpkin orange, and are the windows painted shut forevermore. Wait! Is that window on the left open at the top? Wow.Then I wonder at the size of the interior and that tiny rectangle on the left that looks like a window air conditioner unit. How does it cool enough to be felt? Finally I wonder about the garage and the fumes that accompany that sort of work. Do they threaten to overcome the person who sits at the desk?

Thanks for this super photo!

Glad you enjoyed the neon and yes, you'd find some pretty good food at those drive-ins. The Cherokee is blue plate, meat and three, at lunch, burgers, fries, onion rings, any time. Walker's is eclectic, fresh, creative fare. Hal & Mal's is sort of like The Cherokee. The Mayflower is famous for its seafood. I've not eaten at Kelly's in Portland. Primos Cafe makes great caramel cakes, and Rooster's in Jackson makes superb chicken fried steak! I don't like the chicken 'n' dumplings at Tad's. I haven't eaten at WC Don's.
