Eatin' Time


"5 & Diner" by Wes Aldridge

Well, I have driven by this place on a daily basis for more than a year and have never popped in for a vanilla shake and burger. Isn't that a tragedy? The building sits behind Cool Springs mall, less than a mile from our company's office building, and I still haven't given it a spin.

The 5 & Diner... not really sure what the deal with this sock-hoppin' restaurant, but one thing is certain: its neons look pretty cool against the setting sun. Nothing terribly special about this one. The virtue of patience was the only skill exercised in the composition of this shot. I had to wait until the ambient light of the sunset matched to the level of light given off by the neons on the building.

I think the deal with it is that it stays open a LOT of the time and it has basically every kind of food you could think of ... think Waffle meets Wendys meets Subway ... I dunno! Nice shot though.
