counter seating

The Apple Pan has been around  since 1947  My parents started taking my brother and I there when we were about 12, in the early 60’s. They allowed us to start going there on our way home. Giving us $5 each for the two of us to have two burgers, two fries with the amazing secret Hickory Sauce, two Cokes and apple or chocolate cream pie. Plus tip. The Apple Pan has unwritten rules, like remembering who is waiting before you to take their seat at the counter.Over the years I’ve seen shouting matches, even fights), As the small room fills customers will be stacked 4 to 5 deep, People get territorial about where they are in getting a seat. I captured this scene before all hell broke loose, and I can’t wait for those days to return. It will set me back way more than 5 bucks a kid though.
