Best Shake in Town

My family and I like to visit this little 1950's era drive in restaurant for its ice cream treats. They are famous for their "Boston Shake" - a milkshake with an ice cream sundae on top. Delicious and very decadent! I took this when we were there for a treat last night. My husband and two sons are the ones waiting in line to order. I had fun with the processing to enhance the retro look of this little slice of old Americana. By the way, I thought it was cooperative of the yellow VW bus driver to place his somewhat vintage and color coordinated vehicle in the background of the shot. :)
This looks quite 'American' to me! I like the style of processing you've chosen - really suits the subject matter.

What a great location! These 1950s restaurants seem to epitomise Americana for us in the UK - every time we visit the US my kids make a beeline for them! The processing is great for this

With a name like Fanci-freeze they'd have to have the best shakes! Now I'll be thinking about a chocolate milkshake for the rest of the day! Great retro processing.

Love the tones. Very cool, retro look, '50's I reckon. I'm kinda glad I can't get to the Boston Shakes, saved myself a whole load of calories!

Oh boy! One more reason to visit Boise. Milkshakes are famous in this area too, but the restaurants are only open in summer. Great retro look to the photo.

Great tones in this shot! I love the way you processed to keep the whole thing feeling so retro. And it was nice of that van driver!

Still looks retro, and your photo does it great justice!

Lovely image of nostalgia.

Well done. No idea why they call that a "Boston" shake though.
July 31st, 2013  
@squamloon I have to laugh, because I have never give the "Boston" in the name a second thought. You are absolutely right. Makes no sense at all!
