Seeing a lot of barcades these days

But then saw a lot of explicitly 50s-throwback diners with neon-bubble Wurlitzers (if not tableside coin-op jukeboxes) when I was growing up 80s-90s

Our local was Nifty Fifties, in the original location that became a Dairy Queen

Don’t see them anymore

> @discoursedrome oh god what if in another 30 years the retro-throwback thing is, like, Olive Gardens

Only they serve Sparks and play Lil Wayne and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
