whats more american than a dining room....! we saw one while driving to nahant, 2 weeks ago or so, and decided to actually enter this restaurant, christies, which seemed to be from another era.... it actually says at the entrance; since the turn of the century! i assume thats the 1900s rather than 2000..... inside it was indeed as if time had stood still, including the people working there, as well as the ketchup bottles and the menu above the bar. exactly like in the movies...! in fact, the owner told us that several commercials had been filmed there already.
on the other side of the road is the ocean, so i imagine in summer it could be crowded here. or perhaps it was so in the 50s... :) now it was pretty deserted; many tables and there was only us 2 and a young family... it was amazing and i wanted to picture it all, but i felt like such a tourist...

This doesn't look so inviting to have a dinner. I can imagine moviemakers want to use this for commercials, where do you find such a location ready to shoot.
it's very inviting: no customers, fried food, and a vintage look. What else do you want?
it's the kind of place a group of people enters: a couple with a teenage daughter who's looking for trouble, a lone leather-clad biker with a mean streak and good heart, an old lady with her estranged adult son, and a college student immersed in his laptop and phone. Some weird natural phenomenon occurs and the power is cut off. Chance encounter morphs to premeditated disaster. And when the dying starts, allegiances forged are broken, replaced with terror and mistrust. Coming soon!
Tim, you must become a scriptwriter!
