You'll have to look close when you're going through or you'll miss it.

The little combo store has two gas pumps outside, and they're the old fashioned kind.
There's a giant oak tree right beside the store.

When you walk in you'll think you've stepped back in time about fifty years. The woman behind the bar will actually smile and say, "hello", to you and you can sit at a table with a checkerboard cover and have a cup of coffee and TALK and SMOKE, like we used to!

Thank God! I love it!

I had been going out for breakfast since I retired 10 years ago. I went alone and I never made more friends in my life----I tend to be rather social.Met some great people,smokers and non-smokers. That all ended the beginning of last July.

My lunches and dinners out,about twice a week,I do with friends who don't smoke so never sat in the smoking section.

I sure do miss those breakfast places though,like the ones you described.
