Someone emailed me yesterday and asked me about Rob's Diner and my experience there. Strange question, in my opinion, but one I don't mind answering. Rob's Diner was one of the oldest shops in Walker Creek still open. It opened in the early 1900's I think, hasn't closed since. Started by a man named Robert...B something. Got taken over by his son after my time, I think. He's the spitting image of his father honestly. I worked there in 1957 or 1958. It's hard to keep track of these details by my age. The other workers were fine, brushed me off most of the time but they were there longer than me so I paid it no mind. Rob was nice enough, let me have leftover food after we closed for the night. I was real low on the totem pole though, wasn't usually even allowed in the freezer or the kitchen or anywhere besides the main floor. Always smelled funny back there. Like meat that had just gone a bit off. So I was perfectly fine with the arrangement of staying away. The main floor was nice, when I was there it had wood furniture and everything, not exactly the typical American diner you imagine. Rob was eccentric like that, I don't know. Anyway, there's my experience there for the man who asked.
