c1915 postcard view of McCormick's store in Clinton, Indiana. The street number above the door appears to be 323. The large signs in the display windows advertised CIGARS, CANDY, SODA and a LUNCHEONETTE. The McCORMICK’s name was painted on both display windows and on the door glass. The left display window also advertised MORSE’S THE PREFERRED CHOCOLATE. Above the chocolate ad was a display copy of PHYSICAL CULTURE magazine. A display sign at the right side of that window included the word TUXEDO and 39c, but the remainder of the sign is unclear. Several small baskets and other items were displayed in the window.
Display cases could be seen through the door glass and a coat rack stood at the back of the store.
The other window contained a cigarette advertisement. TO WIN MORE FRIENDS! 50 LUCKY STRIKES TAX FREE. REGULAR PRICE 40c. WE PAY THE 15c TAX. YOU PAY ONLY 25c. LIMITED SUPPLY—ACT QUICKLY! Below that ad, HOT CHOCOLATE WITH WHIPPED CREAM 10c was painted on the window. However, the centerpiece in that display was an Edison Phonograph. An oval sign advertised THE NEW EDISON PHONOGRAPH. The advertising piece in the lower left-hand corner included BESIDE a SAV’RY STREAM and ONE SMILE. The latter was a song published by Edison and the other probably was as well. The other advertising piece was ONLY EDISON RECORDS GIVE YOU THE REAL ORGAN TONE. The advertising piece on the right side of the display included MADIERA and SAVE YOUR SORROW. Again, the latter was a song published by Edison.

Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob,
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job,
Go into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same
We were able to see a preview of the 2 dibond panels (measuring 8 feet x 8 feet) printed with our photo of Cup & Saucer, a local Luncheonette/Coffee Shop which sadly was forced to close in 2017 after a huge rent increase. These panels were beautifully printed by the Greenwich Village #momandpop business Unique Copy Center and Unique Visuals NY and will cover one of the four sides of the rectangular wood-frame sculpture we are installing inside Seward Park in the Lower East Side beginning next week. Please note that the panels are covered with a protective film that will be removed once the installation is complete.
We hope our art installation will bring awareness to the importance of local #momandpoples stores are to the community. Please follow us on Instagram @jamesandkarla and on the dedicated page we created for our “Mom-and-Pops of the L.E.S.” @momandpopsles for more updates and previews.

Grits!
Miracles of miracles! For some reason I woke up at 4:00 a.m. this morning (I don’t know how I got back on Army Time!) and decided to go out on the Jersey Shore for breakfast at 5:00. I seldom, if ever eat breakfast other than a piece of fruit or some yoghurt.
The quickest place was this little luncheonette near where I live that I’ve probably passed by a hundred times in the 15 years I’ve been stationed/lived on the Jersey Shore but have never visited. When I went in, I was amazed! It reminded me of some of the places I used to go when I was stationed in Georgia or Alabama. Except, of course, I could understand the English spoken by the people in New Jersey unlike many of the people I met in the Old South.
They had sausage gravy and biscuits on the menu which caught my eye. You almost never see that in Jersey! The had almost 20 different types of omelets including a “Nutella Omelet” which had Nutella, banana & blueberries tucked inside. Also interesting were the chicken fried steak omelet, omelet stuffed inside a pancake, fish omelet, sausage gravy omelet, broccoli garlic omelet, and grilled chicken omelet. There omelets were light and fluffy, unlike the flat, scorched ones which seemed to be the standard for Georgia!
Add to that selection 8 different types of Benedict, 7 different types of pancakes including pancakes stuffed with mascarpone cheese and fresh fruit topped with whipped cream and chopped hazelnuts and Nutella sauce or a “Smored” pancake with chocolate, marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
Best of all, they had GRITS!!!!
I went with the Waffle Sampler which is a Belgium waffle topped with corn beef hash, scrambled eggs, and sausage gravy (which was excellent) by the way and a side of grits on the side.
My low calorie/low cholesterol breakfast was truly an embarrassment of riches!
I love film, I hate scans >.<

Arlington Village (1948)
Atkins Ave. between Berriman St. and Montauk Ave., Atlantic and Liberty aves.
East New York, Brooklyn
This small complex was built by the East New York Savings Bank for returning vets and their families after WWII. The 3.5-, 4.5-, and 5.5-room apartments were advertised as "exceptionally fine, veterans preferred". Amenities included a children's playground, off-street parking, and an on-site luncheonette and grocery. The bank later sold the Village, and it has ended up owned by the city. At some point, along with the amenities, most of the metal hoods that adorned each doorway were removed. Recently it was discovered that a City Council-funded organization was teaching people how to squat in the partially empty complex, some of whom turned out to be pimps and prostitutes. Sigh.

Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring decided we were going to go to a little luncheonette a few miles from us named “The Greek Spot” for lunch.
Aggie Ring likes it because the Greek food there is very reasonably priced and they serve good sized portions. You never leave there hungry.
The Aggie Ring typically gets some sort of beef/lamb/chicken order. Sometimes a gyro or gyro plate or, more often, a Greek salad with gyro or chicken meat on top.
However, during this visit, Aggie Ring noticed the sign that said they had octopus (Greek: ὀκτώπους [octopodes]). It was very reasonably priced and even came on a simple Greek salad with feta cheese and tomato. Now, Aggie Ring typically only finds octopus smoked and in oil in little cans like smoke oysters or clams. Fresh octopus always a treat.
Aggie Ring has always enjoyed eating octopus ever since he was an Army Aggie Ring stationed in Istanbul many, many years ago. He assumes that the reason anyone won’t try octopus is because they’re racist against the Mediterranean peoples and have no souls or just plain ignorant.
We watched the old Greek man grill the octopus over the fire behind the counter. It’s boiled first and the grill finishes it off. He called Aggie Ring over when our order was ready.
“Describe the octopus for my many fans.” Aggie Ring told me. Well, the smell of it was amazing and it was so tender you just almost could have cut it with a fork. There was nothing rubber like or chewy about this delicious octopod!
Aggie Ring quickly consumed his very ample order alternating between the sweet octopus and the Greek salad. He said that this was even better than scallops.
The portion was so large that Aggie Ring didn’t even have room for a Greek dessert.
As we were leaving, Aggie Ring told me, “Well, I guess we’ll be coming back here more often now.”

The Coffee Pot, sometimes called the Koontz Coffee Pot, was built in 1927 by David Berton Koontz to attract more customers to his service station. It was originally a small luncheonette connected to the Koontz Garage, right next to Lincoln Highway/U.S. Route 30. The Bedford section of the highway was heavily traveled compared to other roads of the time, and was thus the perfect site for a coffee pot/service station to give rest to folks traveling from New York City to Pittsburgh, or from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. The large pot is made of bricks and stands 18 feet tall and 22 feet wide. According to Roger Young of American Motorcyclist, in its prime, “the building was originally covered in sheet metal to more closely resemble its namesake kitchen appliance. The two-story structure had a ground-floor restaurant where Koontz served coffee, ice cream, and light lunches, and a small apartment above.” Were it a real coffee pot, it could hold 819,000 cups (about 51,000 gallons) of coffee.

Despite being off this week I had to drive in to work today to get my paycheck. So, on the way in I visited the small hamlet of Monsey, NY. As a child I remember this as a small hardware store and luncheonette where the counterman still wore whites and a white paper fry cook hat and made great chocolate milk. After my family moved away and the neighborhood became predominantly Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish the store remeined but the luncheonette became a kosher dairy restaurant. Both now sit vacant.
Along Connecticut 66 between Middletown and Meriden.
Unfortunately they had no soft serve ice cream, which I was really in the mood for. Isn't that what the neon cone implies?
I found myself in Bakerfield California last week. It was a completely unexpected trip, I had never visited this town before. I happened upon a huge old Woolworth's Store (now an antique mall) while browsing the time machine that is downtown. They still had the original luncheonette! Unfortunately, all I had on hand was my cell phone camera, so I did my best to capture the nostalgic scene. Had the most wonderful chocolate shake ever too.
The KiMo Theatre opened in 1927, fulfilling Albuquerque merchants Oreste and Maria Bachechi's dream of providing an opulent movie palace based on southwestern design themes. The Pueblo Deco showcase was designed by Carl Boller of Boller Brothers, a Kansas City architectural firm active in movie-house design throughout the west during Hollywood's early days of popularity.
Isleta pueblo Governor Pablo Abeita won $500 for suggesting the name, which means "king of its kind." Construction cost $150,000, with an additional $18,000 to provide a Wurlitzer organ to accompany the silent movies. Construction was completed in less than a year. A luncheonette and a gift shop were located in spaces adjacent to the theatre entry. After Oreste Bachechi died, his sons took over theatre, combining vaudeville and out-of-town road shows with movies.
The KiMo borrowed motifs from many of the pueblos surrounding Albuquerque, as well as from Navajo imagery and western folklore. Ceiling beams, light fixtures, handrails and other building elements were decorated to reflect the popular attractions of New Mexico's native peoples and natural wonders. Well-known local artist Carl von Hassler created murals for the lobby area, depicting the mythical Seven Cities of Cibola.
The KiMo was purchased by the City of Albuquerque in 1977 for use as a community arts center. Following plans by architects Harvey Hoshour and Dan Pearson, the theatre's exotic details have been carefully restored and updated to serve a new generation of New Mexicans. As a Landmark, even the shape and proportion of the marquee as well as the colors used in the 1982 renovation must be preserved.
