24 Hours at the Golden Apple

This old restaurant in Chicago, The Golden Apple, that is open 24 hours seems to have so much history in this windy city because of the array of people that go in. The different people that have been going to this restaurant for a while explain the rich history of this place and the neighborhood around it. This place seems to have become a historic restaurant in Chicago where people share their opinions and experiences with one another. For some people this restaurant is a meeting place for them and their children if they happen to ever be separated and are lost. One couple in fact in the radio broadcast on ThisAmericanLife.org said that they told their child that if he were ever lost to find a police officer and have the officer take him to The Golden Apple. This Golden Apple restaurant in Chicago reminds me a lot of two places in Sonoma, Pearls and The Sunflower Cafe. Both are old restaurants in Sonoma with history that extends back decades ago. My father would tell me stories of when he was in high school and him and his friends would go to Pearls every day for lunch to hang out and get something to eat. The other restaurant, The Sunflower Cafe, is a cafe that my mom and I try to go to every Sunday. We talk about whats going on with my baseball team and school and also listen in on other conversations around us and watch people pass by outside while sitting on the patio. The Golden Apple to these people speaking admiringly about the place is relatively how i feel about the two places that i just mentioned. If i were to recommend to anyone who was visiting Sonoma a nice place to eat with down to earth people I would say The Sunflower Cafe is the perfect place.
