April 2016 NA RR - Crown Cafeteria

The good old Crown Cafeteria with two locations - Long Beach and Pasadena!  Features "The Best of Everything" and free parking!   Look. At. That. Sign.  So much awesomeness, they really don't make them like this any more!   Thanks to Rocky for this gem!

August 2015 NA RR - The "Breakers" Motor Hotel

Located in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  For night life at Virginia Beach this is a favorite entertainment spot - noted for its music and tropical concoctions served in coconuts, pineapples and zombi glasses.  

PS. My husband pointed out that all the staff is black and all the patrons are white.  Did you catch that?

RAS - Chez Piggy Restaurant

Confession. Although I have been to Kingston, Ontario many times I have never eaten at Chez Piggy. Maybe next time though!  Love this RAS from Liz.  Thank you!

Howard Johnson's Restaurant, located two minutes away from Lake George, NY.

Taiwan - Kiki Cafe

Swap - Lawrence Welk Village Inn Restaurant

Thank you Barbara for helping me build a Lawrence Welk collection.  :)

Swap - The Lakeview Restaurant

Lindsay sent me this fantastic postcard from Toronto's Lakeview Restaurant.  Trivia note: The restaurant was featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives". 

RAS - Hotel Concord

Rocky has very kindly sent me this delightful postcard from the Hotel Concord, the Garden Spot of Pennsylvania.  You know there are some things you just cannot unsee...look at that delightful mix of wood paneling and white iron and chandeliers.  I want to think that this is two completely separate restaurants but it is in fact the "lovely Plantation Room" located in the heart of grape country.  I imagine you walk in and a hostess asks you if you would like the dining room side or the bar side.  How on earth would one ever choose?!

Shout out to Arthur F Schultz for the fine furnishings and the Original Baumann Bros. for the luxurious carpet.

Swap - The Big Chicken!

Here it is... the very first postcard I fell in love with upon joining Postcrossing.  Now it is mine!  This is the "Big Chicken" located in Marietta, Georgia with beak and eyes that actually move. Denise writes that she wishes she had a dollar for every time she has been told to "turn right at the big chicken".  Thanks so much for this fantastic postcard Denise!
