I was taking a photo of The Dairy Treat (located just off the Orange Plaza), when this iconic 'low rider' crossed my lens. In 1959 my mother attended 6th grade just up the street, and she tells me she ate lunch (which might have been just a soft serve ice cream) at the Dairy Treat often. Although it was a tough decision since Fikes Place, which was also very near the school, offered a "52 Special" (52cents for a hamburger, fries and soda). She said Fikes was thier version of Arnold's and became a hang out for all local kids. Sadly Fikes is long gone but happily Dairy Treat remains. Next time you are near by, stop in for a dipped cone and a terriaki special.

Great shot Marcy! Or should I say great/lucky shot Marcy? hehe The car is perfectly framed in the photo, love it. I also like the way the pic is cropped, like it is right out of a slide. (or is it?)

Thank you M.Hunt...no it is not a slide. It was taken with a pocket point and shoot (Canon 950)....sometimes the trick to a great photo is simply divine intervention. Or more exactly...LOW RIDER intervention.
