What was it the homeless shelter, the thrift store, or the wandering crack heads that made up the old locations vibe?
You obviously have never eaten at Linda's, or you would know exactly what I'm talking about. Either that or you're not local, or you like to poke fun at the locals. Regardless you've touched a nerve and I kind of resent it.
Linda's has a good mix, lots of locals that seem to know each other, lots and lots of people from the base, people just passing through that have been there before, people that are obviously well off, some not so well off. I have NEVER seen a drunk in there, nor anyone that I would know right from looking at them that they are a "crackhead". I have never sat next to anyone that smelled, dressed in rags, etc. etc. Linda herself has been there from time to time and she's friendly, chatty, and welcoming. In fact I have been waited on by the same people for the last several years; they've been with Linda that long. Wonder what the reason is Clem? Maybe because it's a nice place to work perhaps, maybe because the crowd is so good? Who the hell knows? All I know is they have good omelets, better grits, great french toast, and they know who you are when you walk in and they keep pouring the coffee. Oh and they frequently have a line to get in for breakfast. The vibe inside the restaurant, is eclectic, as are the diners, and exactly what I would expect and HOPE to find in a small town like this one. It's a good crowd - never, ever seen a problem in that place. Little loud sometimes, but it's a good happy loud.
I don't know where the homeless shelter is in proximity to Lindas, I seldom see anyone near the thrift store at the other end and honestly seldom see anyone hanging in that area. Maybe you need to take your happy ass down there and have breakfast, improve your outlook on the day.
Rant over w/apologies in advance.
