Ironport, Warm Tortilla, give or take 50 years, really























Today's
"reality"
may not really be properly reflected by the sign or the picture of the fountain? I will say, however, that I do like to have lunch at a counter. So indeed today we did just that. It was a great lunch at Duran's lunch counter. Great side order of a warm tortilla with butter, by the way, and this is important cause warm Duran tortilla's just have to have butter. Lunch was a Tortilla wrapped around a hamburger, with red sauce. My lunch companion had red and green. I do remember counters more like the one in the picture. Years ago one could order a cherry phosphate or a ironport or just a milkshake or perhaps a cream coke at a counter like this. The "reality" was different then. I suppose the reality today was that we did sit at the counter. Ya see Mel, the real "realty" today had to do more with prior days and the events of those days. Perhaps the sign ought to say, "Reality check, prior four months". The reality of the prior four months, changed everything. Then again the changes were good, Mel. Things do change. That is reality. Speaking of 15 cent cherry phosphates, not that by doing so I really step out of or even into reality, but I remember ordering them a long time ago at a counter like the one in this picture. Course back then I had not even considered a tortialla, warm or cold.
