Straight out of the bag, I can't even claim to have shredded it myself. Frame is about 1.5" across.
This restaurant in Blasdell (Buffalo), New York was originally a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store location. It later became a restaurant / bar / arcade called The Warehouse. The restaurant changed ownership then later closed. It sat empty for a couple years before one of the original owners bought the restaurant back and reopened it in 2019 as the Original Warehouse.
The restaurant is closed on Sunday (when these photos were taken).
Only a little over a dozen Cracker Barrel stores have closed out of over 600 locations. This stretch of I-90 (New York Thruway) between Buffalo and Erie houses two of them; the other being in Dunkirk, NY.
4360 South Milestrip Road, Blasdell, New York
With all the COVID lockdowns and restrictions the years seem longer than usual. When will it end?

This is a framed advertisement for Lighthouse Cleanser, a brand of cleansing powder that is no longer extant. Depicted is a woman on her knees toiling away, scrubbing the floor. Poor lady doesn't even have the luxury of Playtex gloves protecting her hands though the manufacturer claims in their ads that the cleanser will not harm hands! It is an old advertisement from almost a century ago that has been framed and hung on a wall within a Cracker Barrel restaurant that we once visited.
Within the ad appearing in the window is an apparently animated figure in the shape of a harbor lighthouse coming to the rescue, with a can of cleanser, a bucket and a scrub brush in hand. I understand the intent of the illustration but it comes off as a bit creepy if you ask me, especially since the lighthouse figure appears to be showing a bit of a scheming “trust me” grin! The woman, gazing directly at the blazing beam emanating from the light source, is probably trying to remember the magic life-saving phrase as used in the 1950s science fiction movie The Day the Earth Stood Still to prevent Gort the robot from completely destroying the Earth with his death ray stare!
Anyone familiar with Cracker Barrel Country Stores/Restaurants in the US knows that the decor within the dining area comprises a multitude of items of historical or outdated things. Objects such as a washboard or a manual corn seed planter might be seen hanging upon the walls next to signs promoting Gold Medal flour or a long lost portrait of somebody’s kinfolk. The company must have thousands of items in their possession within the US, as hundreds of items adorn the walls within the many restaurants that make up that chain. One of our friends who used to manage a Cracker Barrel in Kentucky informed us that every antique/historic item used as decoration within any location has a property tag attached and is cataloged by the company at their headquarters office.

August, 2025 update:
I wonder, as a result of Cracker Barrel’s controversial re-branding and redecorating in the news now August, 2025, would this advertising art be removed to be replaced by something more generic (and uninteresting) that’s visible in those examples of the newly remodeled restaurants? Frankly, as odd as this cleanser example appears, it is exactly the type of interesting historical artifact that I found to be fascinating that adorned their restaurant walls before the remodeling. I would much rather see this than say panels of arrays of rolling pins, flour sifters or kitchen cutting boards that hold no depth of mystery.
This is a scene from the epic checkers battle played
at the Cracker Barrel store in Springville, Utah after
our hike to the Grotto Falls. Outside the store are
rocking chairs and checkerboards so that you can
amuse yourself while waiting for a table at the
restaurant. Joshua looks to be winning this game.
Penny Parker is cheering him on while wearing her
very large fake glasses. At one time these were 3D
glasses but she took out the "lenses." Not sure why
she likes to wear them. I'm afraid the only people who
want to wear glasses are those who do not need them.

Just a picture taken within the scope of the 1. Linzer Queer Festival, where our Transgender crackerbarrel, which takes place every third thursday in the month in the Musikcafe Sax, did a special event (make-up, hair-styling and so on).
Saw this sign for sale at a Cracker Barrel restaurant. This is great advice, especially during March. Today (March 5) is Mardi Gras, next week is Spring Break for my kids, and then St. Patrick’s Day is coming up on March 17. March is such a crazy, but often fun, month!
