Classic neon cafe sign shines into the waning light of day.
: : :
Here in the small southeastern Washington of Goldendale,
the Simcoe Cafe on Main Street is a gathering place for locals and travelers on Highway 97
between Yakima to the north and the Columbia River to the south.
This neon is vintage, it reminds me a bit of a theater marquee.

I love these local cafes in the small, rural towns of Washington state.
They have the character of the community they serve,
rather than an IHop or a Denny’s Restaurant,
where they are the same here in WA as most
anywhere else in the US.

I’m joining Nancy’s ‘Random 5 Friday.’
Here are my five facts today:
1. I love molasses on toast or biscuits.
2. I was born in Washington state and have always lived here.
3. Of all the vehicles I’ve driven my favorite (that I wish I still had) was a 1968 Roadrunner with a 383, factory 5-speed and a 3/4 racing cam, it was one hot car!
4. I rode horses nearly every day while growing up, loved it!
5. My family raised, put-by and ate our homegrown food, including meat.

I’m linking up late today with Nancy,
we spent most of the day
at doctor appointments…
necessary,
but a bit boring for my
husband and dog Lucy.

My husband and I when traveling try to stop at places just like this. There’s nothing like small town cafes, and we haven’t stopped at a bad one yet. My hubby puts syrup on everything :)
My youngest son spent the week in Portland and I bet you he took maybe one photo if that. Exasperating!
Anyway, love the neon sign and I do hope your dr. appts. went well. xo
I hope you are better Madge! That car sounds FAST…I drove my dad’s old station wagon…LOL!
really great signage. and i like that you like where you live. :)
Love!
Fantastic color in the sign. . so nice to see something so vintage as this. I do not get to see much of this. Im in the country and quite far from it.
I hope your doctor visit ended up “a-okay.”
I have never tried molasses on toast – or biscuits – I’ll remember to give it a go next opportunity i have.
Thank you for this wonderful post (and picture.)
