dinner at the Sunny Boy diner

    
   
   
a legend    
   
a small piece of    
local history that    
doesn't change    
   
going on 57 years    
of serving breakfast,    
lunch and dinner    
to the locals    
   
the pace is slower    
here    
   
dine in    
   
take out    
   
no delivery    
   
nuthin' fancy    
   
it's like walking into a time    
machine and coming out    
the other side somewhere    
in the 1960's    
   
there are still small juke    
boxes at each table in the    
front section of booths    
   
you can even sit at the    
counter and order    
   
the ceiling is low, the    
lighting soft, and the    
overhead music is    
sweet and nostalgic:    
   
"hey there Georgie    
girl."    
   
"soldier boy...oh
my little soldier
boy,"
   
"lighting    
 striking
 again."
   
all the waitresses say    
kind things and check    
in to make sure you    
your food is okay  
   
there's even a glass    
case as you walk in    
to show what pies  
are on tap tonight    
   
if you looking for haut    
cusine,    
forget it    
   
but if your looking    
for a damn decent    
square meal with no    
flash at a great price    
then you have come    
to the right place    
   
...so if you're ever in    
the area (Bridgeport,    
Oh) and you're hungry,    
just stop and ask a    
local for directions    
   
they'll point the way    
   
and if you're young    
enough you will discover    
what America used to    
be    
   
and if you're old enough    
you will be grateful for a  
small piece of Americana  
that yet thrives and lives
   
lives right    
here    
   
at Sunny Boy    
diner    
   
sitting like a proud    
lion of time guarding    
the best of the past    
   
alongside    
National    
Road    
   
in Bridgeport,    
Oh.    
   
January, 5th    
2023    
   
see you    
there    
   
( the pies on    
  me)
