Favorite Cultural Icon — Faves of Dave

Take a look at this sign and this building. Nothing special, right? Wrong! When I see a place like this, it brings back memories of any number of places like it that I went to as a kid with my mom or day, with friends, or other loved ones. It reminds me of the simple blue collar folks that were always chatting with you and other customers that kind in for a burger and a shake or a root beer. Places like this welcome people of all walks of life But, they represent simple American life, a common meal of the average person.

This place in east Dallas has been around for a long time. I just found out about it in recent months and finally made a point to try it out. I was not disappointed. Even though I have only been there once, I feel like I’ve been there hundreds of times.
