World Famous Burgers

Our old hometown used to have a red and white cinder-block hamburger dive called Bob's Better Burger.  It was all the way on the other side of town . . . probably a good 10-15 minutes drive.  That seems so funny now, when it takes nearly10 minutes just  to get out of our subdivision.   Still, a trip to Bob's was a very special treat.  And, Ohhhh . . . those were some good burgers.  

Places like that -- and like this-- are few and far between now.  We had to pull over  so that I could grab a shot of this sign.  2-M's is still open and appears to be doing  pretty brisk business, but you just can't count on these places  and their wonderful old signs to be around the next time we pass by.  This is a piece of Americana I wish we could bring back.

"Burgers and fries and cherry pies, Life was simple and good back then.
Walking in the sand, hand in hand, never thinking that it could end.
Makin' our love with the moon above at the drive in picture show
It was burgers and fries and cherry pies in a world we used to know."  -- Charley Pride
