In the early days before Rt 9 became a Megaplex...+.Kens Steak House, was Ken's a diner on Route 9. In those days diners were all we seemed to know in our area. Although my Mom and Dad went to Chicken Petes to go dining and dancing on Saturday night, as most of the folks out our way did in those days,.(It was out in Medway, I think.)
Ballrooms were the rage, it was the era of the big bands, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Jimmy Dorsey, Glen Miller, hugh bands that crossed the country on terrible roads in buses. It was a difficult life. You know of course that the highway system was not built until Eisenhower became President after the war, and Route 66 was the road we sang and dreamed about in our fantasies of travel across our vast country.
