Description
The counter of a typical American diner brings back nostalgic memories. This photo was taken of the interior of the Moonlite Diner located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and is still operating today though it is definitely retro and brings back memories of the 50's.
The diner has rightfully assumed a mythical place in the American landscape, no less so than baseball or Elvis or old Chevrolet pick-up trucks. It is at once a place where young boys and girls with their guts full of beer can go to idle, writers to think, gangsters to scheme. In a country that seems to become faster and louder with each successive version of the iPhone, diners remain havens of unruffled simplicity, where the only big question that needs answering is what song to play in the jukebox and whether you want hash browns or grits with that “Kill Your Hangover” omelet.
Though nostalgic and retro, today's Diner would probably have a sign "Free Wifi".
