Shearing and Donuts
With Mom and young Brownie at an all day Girl Scout "encampment", Dad and the Dude had things to get done. Took the monthly trip to the old neighborhood for shearing and donuts (Bob's Barber Shop and the Scandia Bake Shop).
On the way home stopped off at the Parkview Cafe. I've driven by it for almost three years but never stopped. Took a little coaxing to get the Dude in the door. He had his heart set on McDonalds. He was convinced to stay when I told him the Parkview served malts.
Great meal: shared a cheeseburger, fries, and vanilla malt (boring, but his choice). They have those "real" hamburgers - - the kind they put together by hand (I guess). Not mass-produced. Very tasty, and great atmosphere - a mix of neighborhood types and the young and hip - - I suspect they are from the neighborhood as well. Large American flag on back wall which prompted the Dude to comment: "Hey this is an American restaurant." He's fascinated with the flag lately. If you ever need to count flags in your neighborhood, take him for a ride. He never misses one.
