This North Carolina Family-Owned Diner Still Serves Meals At An Old-Fashioned Soda Fountain From 1951

The burned-out “Time to Eat” sign in the back is probably my favorite thing about this diner. Nobody replaced it with something polished, and somehow that tells me exactly what kind of place this is. The North Carolina soda fountain has been serving customers since 1951 inside a...
