My kids are not going to be happy that I went to breakfast without them at Red Hill. It is this absolutely wonderful hole-in-the-wall coffee shop that has existed for many many many years. It is always packed, in fact, usually has a line of people outside. You would never know if you drove past it when it’s closed. It is old and run-down and really doesn’t look like much. The food is out of this world, though. The pancakes overflow the plates, the omelets are ginormous, and best of all it is very cheap reasonably priced. It was fun to bring in my camera and have the people there actually pose for me. I definitely need to go back on a regular basis.

The diner is everybody’s kitchen.

I’ve driven past this for years, but only today took a picture of it. There is a house on Route 66 (close to my home) that sells these “creatures” along with fountains and other garden items. This one has been out in front for a very, very long time. Altho most of the other homes have been sold, torn down, and made into strip malls, this one remains. I’m glad – I would hate to see something this kitschy disappear.
