Locally, we have two deli/grinder shops that offer unparalleled sandwiches/meats that draw most of the local patrons. There are a couple Subway...
Fun find! Should have gone back for a bag of chips. :-)
Photos look pretty sharp. Watch the background;-)
Love the 1935 George!
No LWCs in the '70s. ;-)
