Look who I found in Palo Alto today

Bob’s Big Boy is a chain of family-type, mainstream restaurants in the Western U.S. In other parts of the nation, the chain has different names, such as Shoney’s. Regardless of location or name, these restaurants all have the character of Big Boy as a mascot or symbol. In downtown Palo Alto, Calif., this morning, I found Big Boy situated at the entrance of some funky coffee shops and museums. Somewhere, somehow, a Big Boy was taken/stolen/bought or whatever, and now he resides in a very un-Big Boy neighborhood. It’s a real disconnect, but I like it.
