It seemed like a good idea to go to Mel’s Drive-In on Lombard Street. If you’ve ever seen American Graffiti, you’ve seen the place. It’s been ten years since I’ve eaten at Mel’s. Back then, Mel’s Drive In was a happening place to be. It was always hoppin’ with people bouncin’ to loud rock ‘n roll.

But it looks like times have changed. It was kind of dead when I was there. There were only a few bodies in the place, hunched over their meals. I don’t think they were zombies or vampires.

My real reason for going to Mel’s was to take pictures inside the restaurant. I was thinking of the classic retro counters, the juke boxes, and the formica tables. The problem is, I’m shy when it comes to snapping pix inside restaurants. It just feels inappropriate.

In the end, I followed my gut feeling and only took pictures of my table and my food.

One other thing, I was really craving a burger, a veggie burger if you know what I mean. So I ordered one. Alas, it wasn’t up to the high standards set by the Burger Joint in Burlingame. At least the customer service was good.

If my memory serves me well, the meat burgers were really good ten years ago.

PS
Thanks for all your feedback about the Fuji Instax Mini. I’m sold and will buy one in a month or two! :)
