There may have been some in California, but I never saw any.
Isn’t that the place where lots os “situations” arise?
ROFL
Yes, you’re thinking of the correct location for ‘situations’. Waffle House is open 24/7, 365 days. Apparently it’s known as the place to go in the middle of the night to sober up after a night of drinking. Which might explain a lot.
New DC ‘man about town’ video. I’m a little behind. LOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eye-4l26rB4 It’s about 34 minutes long. It’s a livestream from this morning; he was going to broadcast whatever the training exercise was at the Capitol this morning, but it was done and over before he dropped the kids off at school. Neither house of Congress were in session this morning, so I doubt anything nefarious happened. The quality of the video isn’t very good (blurry). But at least he’s walking! LOL
Back in the day California’s pancake house was called SAMBO’S.
From article: In 1957, two white men from Southern California were brainstorming a name for their new restaurant. Sam Battistone Sr. was a “short, compact and determined looking” man who had run a diner in downtown Santa Barbara for two decades. Newell Bohnett was a 34-year-old equipment salesman whose father had been the mayor of Santa Barbara. They wanted a name that was catchy, and that would be familiar to the working and middle class families they hoped to cater to. Combining Battistone’s first name with the first two letters of Bohnett’s last name, they christened their new establishment Sambo’s. The first Sambo’s Pancake House opened on June 17, 1957 on beachfront Cabrillo Boulevard in downtown Santa Barbara.
The paintings that adorned Sambo’s Pancake House were a retelling of the hugely popular children’s book Little Black Sambo.
By 1969, it was said that Sambo’s was serving enough coffee each day “to float a 45-foot-yacht.” Sambo’s restaurants were opening all around the country at a dramatic pace — the chain added 125 new restaurants in 1975 alone. At its peak, Sambo’s would have 1,117 locations in 47 states. But civil rights leaders and town councils began to object to the restaurant with the racially charged name appearing in their town. In the late ‘70s, protests and lawsuits challenging the Sambo’s name were occurring in Virginia, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio and Michigan.
