So, I saw this picture today (Left), and this somewhat reminded me of a Greasy Spoon back in Eastern KY, outside of a now abandoned Flea Market & Livestock House (Right), where sometimes I would go eat & buy bootleg cigs during the Winters.
I looked for it in Google Earth & the properties are completely abandoned. The Greasy Spoon & Apartment building is still there, but falling apart.
Also, where some vendors sold Counterfeit stuff, they were often the targets of State Police & FBI raids.
@stueytheround I was thinking that too. I also remember the clerk was the sweetest woman in the world at the time, and her husband did all the cooking. She was always like, "Hey Sweetheart, you wanna give them Devil Machines a try again?", referring to the Pinball machines.
They told me that the Husband was found fucking one of the Livestock Market hookers, which confirmed there was a prostitution ring, and they divorced and sold the Restaurant to someone, before she came down with Dementia.
