If you are above a certain age, you can smell this photo.
It smells like Dennys used to smell.
Or any other restaurant where you had a smoking and non smoking section
I just don't think the younger generations can understand how saturated diners and bars were with cigarette smoke.
That brings me back.
Back to a world where everything smelled like cigarette ash. While its nostalgic, I don't miss it. Its crazy how much people used to smoke.
Yeah and if you miss it you could always pop into a casino. At the doors I was like, “oh wow. That’s interesting.” Then I hit the interior, “ugh, god. It’s everywhere.” Yuck
Smells like Reno.
Second cigarette after you order brings the waitress out with your Moons Over My Hammy and some more coffee.
