Bearden's Steakburgers

 We stopped by Bearden's, 19985 Lake Road, a couple weeks ago. We haven't been here in about thirty years, it's a lot more modern inside, almost fast-foody. No waitresses as in the days of yore, instead, ordering is done off a touch screen. The food is excellent, but the ordering is a bit off-putting, especially if you're an older person.

An old menu on display.

Out a Window

 Looking out onto Memphis Avenue from from the City Diner last Saturday.

City Diner

 We stopped by the City Diner, 5109 Memphis Avenue, again on Saturday, as always, a great place.

Wonder if they're changing their sign?
