The family stopped in a place today (off the highway in Frederick, MD actually) and had a slice of pie and the kids some grub. This was one of those old timey places that everyone sat at a big counter and the waitresses were in the middle. The kind of place you see in every commercial on TV. You also see them during election cycles where the candidates drop by and the whole town seems to be there eating a leisurely breakfast. These places must really exist, but I grew up in the burbs of DC, so I'm not used to seeing a place like this. Do you have something like this in your town? What's it like?
