The Red Rooster

"The Red Rooster was part of the tribal ritual.It was the place you went after a big date, if you could afford it." (Narrator - Phantom of the Open Hearth.) The Red Rooster was within walking distance of HHS. Students would often gather there before class, escape over to the Red Rooster over the noon hour, and then stop again on the way home. The cigarette smoke flavored the "Delicious Hamburgers" and students carried that greasy smell with them throughout the day. (hhs59.com/lunchtim.htm)

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
