June 7 at Yesterdog

Sunday afternoon:  I drove over to Jesse's to say "Hi" to he and Kaity this afternoon. We had a nice time chatting about the last few days. Jesse and I watched a video about the biggest tornado ever in the USA that occurred back in 2013 in El Reno. It is always fascinating to me (and apparently to Jesse) to watch the development of a super huge storm like this--and this particular one was quite deadly, coming about one week after another devastating tornado outbreak in the same area! People were pretty shell-shocked.

Kaity asked if Jesse would take her to Yesterdog for a hotdog before she returned to Diana at 6:00. Since I have lived in Grand Rapids since 1971 and have never yet been to Yesterdog, I invited myself along! Actually, the restaurant is celebrating their FIFTIETH year this year--so it wasn't here before 1976. 

We ordered are hotdogs and took them to our booth to enjoy them. We met the new owner, who strolled by to ask us how we were liking the food, etc. Jesse and he had a nice chat about the restaurant remaining vintage. The gentleman was surprised I had lived in Grand Rapids for 55 years and had never visited.

As we were driving to Yesterdog, Jesse described it very accurately. It was very entertaining to see all of the "50's" posters, advertisements, equipment, etc.

A bunch of "famous" people have visited here!

I like the whole "feel" of the place.

Evidently graffiti is not discouraged ...

The nicest thing about being here ... is Jesse and Kaity-Girl. How nice to spend a little extra time sharing a meal together.

Cool place. I will return!
