The (Tropical) Treat

I took the weekend off from working on the new FFS and returned to my childhood home in Shippensburg PA to visit my parents.  Like all returning spawn of Shippensburg, I had to visit The Treat or, as it was called in my day, The Tropical Treat.  Of course, it did not disappoint.

The (Tropical) Treat has been the backdrop of many tales from my youth.  "The Blockbuster Incident" comes to mind.  To protect those involved, I won't name names nor give the back story but I'll just say that those 5 Blockbusters (fried (real) ham, lettuce, tomato, mayo, on a hamburger roll) sure must have tasted real good.  The rest of us looked on in awe (and hungry).
