Diner on highway 66
Illustration of the Diner on route 66 from The Grapes of Wrath, vol.1, p.188, illustrated edition, by Thomas Hart Benton, a native of eastern Oklahoma, who was assigned to draw archetypal Oklahomans for 20th Century Fox as the studio believed that would make the casting more accurate. "Along 66 the hamburger stands--Al & Susy's Place--Carl's Lunch--Joe & Minnie--Will's Eats." "Two gasoline pumps in front, a screen door, a long bar, stools, and a foot rail."
