Every time I see this sign I think of my father.
When I was 16 we went to register me for my junior year of high school.
Daddy hadn’t been on a subway since they cost a nickel, and the conductors wore white gloves.
On the way to the school we passed a Tad’s Steaks.
The special of the day was filet mignon for $2.99!
Hey, it was 1976 and things were a little cheaper.
Daddy said he just had to have one, so we went there for a fun lunch.
The other day I was out for a photostroll, and decided I just had to eat there.
I couldn’t believe it; they still use the same red glasses and tan salad bowls.
The $2.99 filet mignon special wasn’t available, so I had the Cowboy.
