1965 Denny's

1965 Denny's
One of the worst places to eat in the USA...except for breakfast. It's cheap, plentiful and the traditional breakfast we know and love. The chain is open 24 hrs., 365 days per year and is sometimes occupied all night by a few vagabonds.

I don't know what it's like now, but the Denny's I've known in California have been fairly tolerant of providing a little respite for drunks and the homeless IF they behave themselves, don't reek, and buy the occasional cuppa joe. It's 1950s coffee, too, so basically just brown water.

John FitzGerald, Annemarie, Ronald Losure have particularly liked this photo

In Florida, our Dance Troupe stopped there after an event in Ybor City, FL.
This was on the way to most of our homes.

The management refused 2 of us ( me and another ) entry until we put our shoes on [we had them in our hands]. We wanted to use the restroom to wash our feet off -- before - putting on our shoes!

No, they wouldn't let us. So, we put dirty-sticky feet in our shoes -- went to the restroom - washed our feet and tried to get the sticky out of our shoes.

* Point of into here *
Ybor City had a big street party that night/morning - with lots of bands. We were the dancers in-between the band set ups.
People at those events aren't neat, if you get my drift - flat out sloppy drinkers letting beer pour from their cups -- hence our sticky feet.

All that to tell you, I never did go back to Denny's -- we had told them why we had not put our shoes on ...

Thanks for listening -

You can dump this if you wish,

Wow, that was a hassle! I doubt there would have been a scene at this one. I've only been there three times and didn't see that they observed much going on around them. The ones around San Francisco could be the exception, though.
