His son Brandon, who died in the service, was a Marine (therefore the sign on the wall). <br /><br />I did watch various speakers at the RNC. And I won't argue about Mr. Trump being a great entertainer. I watched Hillary's speech at the DNC as well, and I can hardly wait for the debates!Bethany Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583914285773271009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-35217542366783045852016-07-30T15:01:50.083-05:002016-07-30T15:01:50.083-05:00No wonder I felt a little overwhelmed by its size!...No wonder I felt a little overwhelmed by its size!

It seems to be a small city, but with nice homes and many gardens and beautiful trees. The streets look clean and tidy. Your sandwich was really huge, but it looks good, and I hope you liked it. I'm sure that nobody can left the restaurant being still hungry. I like also such culinary experiences that are different than the ones in chain restaurants.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997740074530297910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-27169237503373329762016-07-21T18:41:18.149-05:002016-07-21T18:41:18.149-05:00Yuck on the bugs buzzing about.

Owner and wife were operators and cooks, just like Cole's. My diner was named Topsy's, and there may be another coincidence. Owner, Bill, was a cook in the military. Seeing the sign on the wall, behind you, MARINES, I wonder if the same is true for Mr. Sturdy? :-) Your sandwich DOES look delicious. That is definitely a cute picture with you trying to tackle that sandwich! The more of these places you report on, the more I want to do a road trip to Iowa. Once again, I feel like you should work for the Iowa Department of Tourism. Well, on another topic, I've been wondering if you're watching the RNC? I have found it totally entertaining! And, to be honest, I think Mr. Trump is, more than anything else, a master of entertainment! My vote is still up in the air, as I want to see what "Crooked Hillary" has to say. :-)John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-21154639641558856322016-07-20T19:26:10.013-05:002016-07-20T19:26:10.013-05:00We've been to several out-of-the-way restauran...We've been to several out-of-the-way restaurants before.
