Lost In The Fifties....

Saturday morning, I met my friend Diane and her parents and her sister at Manatee Historical Village. For a while we hopped from building to building in the rain, and then we got Lost In The Fifties. Bradenton has a new Soda Shop called  Bradenton Scoop Ice Cream Parlor. Can you guess what I had for LUNCH?

(note: I was the ONLY one in the place taking photos of my food. does that surprise you?)

 If you guessed banana split and a chocolate coke, YOU GOT IT! I have not had either since the late fifties.

And will not eat another one for another fifty years... YIKES! talk about SWEET, even sweeter than ME.

 It is decorated with antiques from the 30's through the fifties.

Yes, they still make the Shakes using that old milk shake stirrer thingy you see below. No the jukebox, coke machine do not work. I love the light fixtures. I felt I had dropped back to 1958. Except of course I look a tad different now.  Any of you remember any of this?

I grabbed below shot of the outside of the building off Google Maps... they serve a gazillon flavors of ice cream and Ice Cream sodas, the Old Fashioned Way, Milk Shakes, sandwiches, the list is long.

LOOK OUT OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS..... I was in Snapper Frenzy at the Historical Village where all the buildings are more than a hundred years old.
NO!! I was not around then, but almost.....
