CORRIDOR 40, a fashion and culture magazine recently wrapped up the summer with a feature that was beautifully shot and directed by Attilio Dagostino and styled by Jill Manoff. Shot on site at the Crossroads Rt. 66 Diner in Mt. Olive, IL.
Millions in Motorcycles and Tiffany Lamps
Just got back from San Francisco. While there I cam across a pub called Eddie Rickenbacker’s in the SOMA district, near the umbra of the Bay bridge. The food is good, there’s a decent beer selection and they carry Cazadores Tequila (the best). However, the real attraction is the bikes including a Moto Guzzi, Excelsior, Henderson, Ariel and New Imperial. There’s also a 1941 Indian, 1918 Reading, 1938 Nimbus, lamps, trains, a cat and the proprietor Henry Africa. This place is definitely worth a visit.
The photos in the blog post were pulled from various sources-my camera battery went dead that day.
Road Trip To A Road House
Charlie, Jeff and I took a drive in the Impala over to Alton, Illinois. Alton is a small river town that features amazing roads that run along the Missouri River and bluffs. Hot rods and motorcycles cruise the river road before stopping to have lunch at Fast Eddies. Which is exactly what we did.
Fast Eddies is a roadhouse and a mid-west institution. The food at Fast Eddies is cooked to order on a giant indoor grill and features favorites like Big Elwood, skewered beef tenderloin and peppers, homemade bratwurst, Cajun chicken and amazing peel ‘n’ eat shrimp. The food is done to perfection and the beer is ice cold. Alton and Fast Eddies are certainly worth a road trip. Check out the clip from Alton Brown’s “Feasting on Asphalt” series on the Food Network.
