This ice cream parlour at Whitmore Bay was built in the 1930's--nothing's changed apart from the burgers and fries!!--billy

Are we in a time-warp? This image takes us back to the days of yesteryear; well done post processing, Billy. You ought to sell this one to the good marketing folks at the parlor. It would make a great poster or menu cover.
