The 4 B's

Found this interesting matchbook over the weekend

Bill, Barbara,Billy and Buddy were running the cafe back then. It sure was great they all had names starting with "B" otherwise this place would have never been.
I wonder what a Honey Steak tastes like?

Were Bobs Began



Hope everyone had a great weekend
One panel scan of a vintage Bobs Big Boy menu shows the first Bob's and equally cool general offices and commissary (Look more like a motel to me). Along with the great renderings is Thanks from the Big Boy founder himself.
Thanks for dropping by today.

A little sign my wife found for the bathroom

Tag your Bag

Something tropical for today.



With a tag like this on your bag it's no wonder somebody stashed a few extras to take home.

I have to say "Thanks" to them, whoever they were.

A Little Softee

Happy Friday Everyone!
Going thru the many boxes of collected stuff I have stashed away over the years come these 2 iron-ons for the cone man himself Mister Softee.


What better way to start the summer post than this famous Ice Cream icon. I once heard from somebody that they have Mr Softee 3 dimensional cone heads mounted on the iconic ice cream trucks, anyone out there ever seen one???
