Thoughts from the girl with the Rootbeer Shake

Today I went to 5 & Diner for dinner.
{Please note that I went at 5 PM!}

It's across the street from work and I had never been.

As I walked up,

I saw huge red & white striped umbrellas

that were protecting the very distinguished 

Floridan looking guests from the sun & misters.

They looked like they had been going there since the 50's.

{So cute!}

The inside of the diner was also adorable;

red bar stools at the counter,

antiqued appliances,

jukeboxes,

wait staff in white,

and black & white checkered floor.

I felt like I had walked into a movie scene.

While drinking my delicious rootbeer shake,

I found myself looking at those old friends

and their muscle cars in an atmosphere that they were 

completely comfortable in,

and it brought me tremendous joy. 

{you sentimental sap}

I wonder if there will ever be 2012 themed restaurants?

{and if so, what would they look like?}

I decided that it 5 & diner would be a perfect place to 

go on a 50's themed date night.

Wouldn't that be a blast?!

Poodle Skirt & bobby socks.

Saddle shoes & Pin curls!

And of course,
 a handsome man
with oil-slicked hair,

dressed in a white t-shirt & jeans

with a comb in his back pocket.
