Superb shots of the hometown bistros, JJ! The first place looks like someplace I would like to grab a bite at. There is something about going to a place where everybody knows your name. :)

I do miss that about Connecticut. I can still go back home and go into stores, and It is like i never left. It feels warm and fuzzy. It is bigger and a bit more superficial here. But, well, you know. It's the job.

I had no idea Lulu sang! How cool is that? I hope she begins to feel herself and gets back to that place in her life.

I love roast beef, especially if I cook it low and slow! I don't even need a knife then, it just kind of peels off and is such a delightfully juicy piece of meat.

It is funny you should mention Wendy's. In Connecticut, there were really no fast food places in the 80's Very few anyway. Althought they had places like Dutchess hambergers and that was the fast food, although to this day, it is one of the first places I stop at. They still cool them on the grill. just like you are supposed to.

Awesome post! Thank you again! Happy #MarketFriday!

Upped and steemed tip!
