Back in the 1950's to about 1962-3, the old "Stop N Go" was the western destination point on a circuit driven by the high school kids in Kennewick, WA. The eastern destination was another hamburger joint known as "Zip's." The "Stop N Go" was up in the 'highlands' part of town, and "Zip's" was, and still is, near what used the be called the "old bridge" - which has been replaced by the "Cable Bridge."The very first "really" cool car I ever laid eyes on was out in front of the "Stop N Go" when I was about 11 years old. It belonged to the quarterback on the varsity football team named Monasmith, and it was a beautiful, two-toned, beige and red, two-door, hard-top, '57 Chevy.
By the time my class landed behind the wheel, the "Stop N Go" had lost some of it's polish, at least for us as we drove on by it and turned around to drive back to "Zip's" in another location.
It amazes me that it's still there at all.

I was actually reading a novel and when I looked up, this was what I saw before me: A line-up of "sammie munchers" in the "sammie" capital of the world, "Subway." Fortunately for me and all you fans out there, I had my trusty sketchbook with me and my also trust number one Pigma Micron pen. So I went to work putting these fine folks into my sketchbook without anyone of them getting nary the idea that their "true to form," and perfect images would, in less than a day's time, be posted for all the World to See.
I just discovered a new way to post images to my blog from flickr. What I have been doing for the past, oh, couple hundred, posts is downloading the image to my computer and then uploading it. This takes not only time, but also those precious parking slots on my hard drive.
