Travel from town to town and they all begin to look alike.
On the one hand, familiarity when you're far from home is always welcome. On the other, no place is unique anymore. Every town looks identical. Nothing is local. Nothing stands out. We could be anywhere else, and we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
So when we come across this snapshot-in-time resto in the shadows of a superstack on the outskirts of a northern Ontario town named Lively, I can't resist the urge to just stand in the parking lot and drink it in.
It's like an echo of an era that's slowly fading to black, never to be remembered by the legions of present-and-future consumers too busy getting the same generic fare in a drive-through.
Somewhere along the way, we lost the script. The least we can do is take a picture before it disappears for good.
