Iconic Restaurant

Things rarely stay as they are, but sometimes a bit remains. Once there were several Night Hawk restaurants, a sort of local chain. They had steaks and big meals but the 'chain' had a little brother featuring breakfasts and burgers called the Frisco Shop. I think pies tall with meringue were always part of the deal, too. At last there was only the Frisco Shop to represent the memory. (Old sign on Burnet shown here.) Then a Walgreen's pushed it out of its location, but they took up residence further north in the space abandoned by a series of other restaurants. My friend Jackie shot this picture of the giant metal chicken (rooster?) adorning their new location.

Theme Day: Metal

We are soon leaving our big yard and its junk metal musicians behind. This is a detail of the innards of the sousaphone player. I've shown you some of this sculpture before. The French horn player here and the trumpet player here. Since I soon won't own that backyard I thought it most appropriate for theme day to show it. We are probably leaving most of the band behind for the new owners but we are probably selling the trumpet player since we found a willing buyer.

The City Daily Photo group always has a theme day on the first of the month. This month's theme is metal
