I see some highway signs through the open door of the gas station – try to zoom in and maybe you can read the route numbers. I wonder if the colors of the horizontal stripes on it would identify the brand?

Of course I love that she is wearing spectator pumps! I never thought of waitressing as a spectator sport! So much jalousy (sp?) windows I thought for sure that this place must be in Florida- and with that AC unit front a center… I don’t know. I grew up in La Habra so it’s an easy check with Mom to see if she remembers it! I’ll let you know.

That building looks like a building on La Habra Blvd. in La Habra with the auto shop on the lot next door. It is the same color with the same planter. I will have to drive by it today to make sure.

Just reading about waffles makes me hungry and makes me miss my very favorite waffle place – Uncle Johns in La Jolla. It was such a tiny little place with just a counter and a few tables and chairs on the sides. People were lined up on a Sunday morning waiting to get in. The waffle irons were in plain sight and you could watch your order being made while you waited, your mouth watering. I always ordered the banana and walnut waffle. mmmmm. I recently bought a waffle iron at an estate sale for $1.50 and now I can make my own – but they never taste as good as Uncle Johns.
