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.
Second cigarette after you order brings the waitress out with your Moons Over My Hammy and some more coffee.
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.
