It may not be exprimentally exciting, but there's something special about walking into a diner in the morning and seeing the staff waving and asking how we're doing. The waitresses (no waiters on the morning shift) will jump up to be the one to serve us since they all know us.
This particular diner, now separated from our school by a huge Target store, was the victim of multiple attempts at eminent domain because the mayor wanted to build a parking lot or strip mall. They finally won, and they'll be building something around it instead of buldozing it.
