Complete with luncheonette.
I love that word, luncheonette, that's something you don't see anymore.I was looking for vintage childrens books to cut up and use in pendants and collage and found some good ones yesterday, along with a vintage United States puzzle and a game with tiles that I think I can use as charms in a bracelet. I love the illustrations in the old childrens books, they are just so sweet, one of the books is about a little rabbit and a crow and they are dressed in little jackets and hats. One of the books is a take-off on Dick and Jane but with Alice and Jerry instead.
We were starving so we ate lunch at the old Woolworth's lunch counter, I mean luncheonette-they had a very limited menu, hamburgers and a couple of sandwiches, but hamburgers and fries hit the spot for us. There are hardly any restaurants in downtown Bakersfield, so your lunch choices are very limited-it's a big downtown and urban blight has hit it pretty hard. Most of the stores are boarded up or pawn shops and of course the porn 'theatre' which is actually in an old theatre. It's kind of sad to see such a depressed area of the city, but I don't think they can revitalize it like many cities have done, it's pretty far gone.
