“Sometimes
you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”
~ Dr. Seuss

Elizabeth
Taylor and James Dean are seen driving in Texas ranch land in a scene from the 1956 American epic Western
drama film “Giant” in my artistic interpretation of their vintage photo
showcased at Charlotte Fay’s Main Street Diner, Slatington, Pennsylvania.
Elvis
Presley, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, is well represented at Charlotte Fay’s, and
his music may well be heard playing at this cool and cozy eatery where retro is
king.
Other
photos on the diner’s walls spotlight retro icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Route
66, and a young Elvis and Johnny Cash posing for a snapshot. There’s also a nod
to the New Jersey Seashore and Steel Pier. The large map depicts President
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s National System of Interstate and Defense Highways,
championed by the then-president when it was formed June 29, 1956.
And
of course there’s the tasty food, wonderful to nosh on as you drink in the nostalgic
atmosphere. Owner Jason Ruff named the diner after both his great-grandmothers,
and uses their recipes.
The
menu and atmosphere are the perfect mix to stir up a recipe for success fit for
a king.
