It was a fun contest. Loved the photos. Great response, several first-timers. Just a real treat.

Course, I am glad it's over. (my anxiety level increases when I have to host...always afraid of badly screwing up)

My aunt had a diner w/car hops way back when. I spent a lot of my childhood there. My mom spent some of her young adulthood there. She met Fidel Castro when he came in to eat. Well before he became a household name. Your photo reminded me of that.
