Road Trip

This past Saturday, my boyfriend and I went to the outlets in Hagerstown for some Spring shopping. If you've never made the trip, it is well worth it. You can find great deals on shoes, purses, jewelry, furniture...my bank account takes a major hit every time we go!

Anyway, let me get to the point of this story. We were craving Burger King fries, so we pulled off of the interstate to grab a quick bite. The minute I walked through the front door I knew this fast food experience was going to be like no other. Have you ever seen a themed BK? I haven't, so I was overwhelmed by the 50s diner I had just entered. The booths were shaped liked cadillacs with sprawling pink leather seats. The ceiling was covered with neon records and the music was blaring from the juke box. Kids were dancing, parents were singing...I could not get over it! I felt like I was at a sock hop. My boyfriend said, "Do you think this is where people hang out on Friday nights?" Since we seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, I'd have to say his estimation is not too far off! This BK diner would never survive in Baltimore, but I think the people in this western Maryland town couldn't survive without it!
