Spencer's

My Papa taught me a fine appreciation for little diners such as this. It's Spencer's Grill, right in downtown Kirkwood. Been there for about 104 years, I think. These places make the best food. Breakfast all day long. Awesome diner chili. Yum. I made this image while waiting for my friend Ryan yesterday. I was in the fifth of five booths (it's a tiny place), and after I got settled and looked around, it just all seemed so timeless. Right down to the newspapers haphazardly stacked on the first stool. No matter what happens in the world, you can always go into Spencer's and have a good cup of joe outside the swirl of everyday life.
