[QUOTE="CorpsVet, post: 3361225, member: 2414"] In the 50's in my small hometown we had Dave'sHamburgers. It was in a small wooden "shed" that had a hard dirt floor. Places inside for about 4, but most used the walk up window. It was located next to the picture show. The burgers were square and thin and he used square buns he bought from the local bakery, He made a dressing of mustard and chopped onions and you could get a burger with or without, no other choices. No cheese, no fries, no chips. He had an open top pop box with a varity of bottles of "pop" ( my fav was RC Cola), it was filled with ice he salted and was the coldest in town. Burgers were 15 cents (10 for $1.00) pop was 10 cents. for a half dollar you could get 2 burgers, a bottle of pop and have a dime left over for kids admission to the show, usually a double feature. In those days, movies ran continuesly, so you could sit there all day watching the same shows over and over. It wasn't unusual for someone to come in during a show and watch until it got back to where they came in and then leave. [/QUOTE]
