Buzzy's Diner

     The first job I had was at Buzzy's Diner, located in a small suburban town in
upstate New York.  It isn't a classy restaurant, it isn't even a very clean one, but during the
hours that its open in the morning it is probably the busiest place within fifteen miles.
Although the food there is inexpensive and very good, the main reason people eat their
lunch and breakfast there is because of the diner's cozy atmosphere and timeless quality.
     The diner is in a building that is about 65 years old and when you first walk in and

for the mirrors, there is a story behind everything that is hanging on the walls.  Usually
any bare spots on the walls are occupied by postings of upcoming town events like craft
shows or school concerts.
     Near the top of the back wall, there is a shelf that stretches aross the length of the
room. The shelf is filled with old, empty food cans with fading labels.  Scattered...
