On rainy days, Jack and Sebastian would go to their favorite diner for lunch. They ate slowly as they watched people moving about the street under umbrellas.

This picture of Jack and Sebastian hanging out by the window in their favorite lunch spot is channeled directly from my long-standing enjoyment of the classic American diner. With a menu based on eggs, breakfast meats, and bread items, the unending fill-ups from a Bunn coffee-maker, and an atmosphere that accommodates a slow sit on your own or a caloric stockpiling with friends, I don’t think I’ll ever shake the charm of the setting.
This particular illustration made me think of a diner that a friend and I went to a couple of times in Hopkins, Minnesota. We were living in Minneapolis at the time, and there is a bike path that we used to follow out of the city-proper to this small community turned suburb. The original main street was still populated with shops, restaurants, and a cinema. This great diner was the perfect place to rest our legs and fill up before the ride back into the city.
