Description

...bobby sox, poodle skirts and Elvis on the Juke Box. This is Kristin at the Southern Flyer 50's grill inside the Brenham, Texas airport. Shot with the 17-40mm in existing light. I swapped a couple prints for her model release. Pat and I had burgers, fries, rings and chocolate ice cream sodas :0)

Thanks Don, Char, Dale Ann, Ilana, Sanjay, Stacey, Michelle and Cindy! This is a neat little country airport. One end of the building is the terminal for private and corporate airplanes and one end is this cute 50's grill. I must say their prices have kept pace with the times :0( #1145493

Just like I remember, with the exception of the poodle skirts, which didn't catch on in Iowa. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff we used to wear...or maybe you would. LOL #1145517

Murry,

I wonder if she going to do the jitter bug. This is an awesome capture. I remember my mom has images back in the fifties that look like this. LOVE IT. I think I have a burger, fries and strawberry milk shake. Kerby

Hi Murry - WONDERFUL 'Back To The 50's' retro shot!! :-) Sadly(?!), I wasn't even a teenager in the 50's, but I sure remember the next decade...and was still wearing clothes like Kristin in the early 60's!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Murry ;-), and, congratulations on your well-deserved Finalist for this image!! :-) #1347782
