Our Blogophilia organizer, Marvin Martian has a favor to ask: Greetings, Dear Earthlings and Fellow Blogophilians!! This is Week 11 in Year 17 Blogophilia!
ATTENTION: We are still needing some new prompts from Blogophilia participants. We’re having to dig way back into the archives, and we are rapidly using up all the prompts (in some cases probably duplicating some – if you feel like you’ve seen it before, it’s very possible.) Please Direct Message the following to Martian Ecrits:
* Topics – get creative! 
* Bonus Prompts – lyrics, song titles, phrases, quotes, movie titles, using specific words, items, situations, names of specific things or places, etc. Use our past prompts as a guideline for what works best!
* Pictures – Only send photos that are NOT copyrighted and are Royalty Free. This would include your original photos, public domain images, or downloadable, royalty-free pics from sites like Pexels, Pixabay, Dreamstimes, Canva, etc. Please send only jpg or png format.
Blogophilia group on Facebook HERE. WordPress – blog topic parameters HERE & how blogophilia works HERE. Join us, it’ll be fun. At least donate some prompt ideas to keep the fun reads coming.
Hard Bonus: Mention an old diner or restaurant
Easy Bonus: Incorporate jazz music
Dinner theaters are nice, where you get served dinner by the theater crew at tables outside of the stage, then go in to see a show, whether it’s a cabaret or Renaissance, or whatever. But I’ll take live music in a park any day of the week! Quaint burger shops, ice cream trucks, or something you get from Frank’s Diner (but you better be hungry & can comfortably eat), and free jazz music from the Racine Concert Band featuring fun songs like Them There Eyes, I’ll Meet You There, whether I’m playing or listening. For something closer to home, Kewpee’s is a great option.
Frank’s Diner is a dining car (think passenger train food car) built in Bayonne, NJ in 1926, transported via railroad to Kenosha. 6 horses pulled it to the current location in downtown Kenosha near the shore of Lake Michigan. Very few changes have happened, just some upgrades to ensure the longevity of the place. It’s lasted 100 years & still going strong.
Kewpee’s also opened in 1926 in downtown Racine, and is one of the very few restaurants left. It’s been through several owners, but still the same great burgers you just can’t get anywhere else. In 1957, a parking structure was built around it. In 1997, the city took the building by eminent domain and tore it down. With the lack of a better place to put it, the owner bought the empty lot & rebuilt on the old site. It still stands today, and is one of the most favorite burger joints in the city.
