• This is the Denny's I used to work at, and it's also the first one that Das Büs visited, so it had special meaning for me. I was happy that the four original players of Project:Denny's (P7A77, J-R, Chris, and Josh) were all present for this visit.
  All of the staff was different than it was when I worked there... except for Roy. I'm convinced that Roy came with the building. The man never ages, either. He even remembered me. The waitress, Ireta, also rocked. She offered to give us separate checks. We didn't even have to ask. I've even had some places refuse to give separate checks before.
  Amusement was to be had all over this Denny's. Aside from the wonderful quarter-machines in the lobby ("Give me a quarter! I love quarters! I tell your fortune for a quarter!"), there was a bus boy there who even I thought was a bit goofy-looking. He was goofy-looking on his own, but what did it was the hair. At first it looked like a bowl cut, but when he moved, you could see that all but the very top of his head was shaved. That, combined with his general goofy appearance, was good, but what did it for me was the rat-tail in the back.
  Another great feature about this particular Denny's is the sign outside. It's the oldest logo I've ever seen. It's sort of like the logo that's slowly being replaced by the crappy new one, but more psychadellic. Ah, hell, you can see for yourselves in the picture.

• What we ate: Nothing
• This Denny's had a fairly cool atmosphere to it. It was definitely a Trucker's Denny's. They even had a huge-ass parking lot in the back for trucks (or busses) to turn around in. Apparantly earlier in the day, some famous race-car driver was there signing autographed pictures. Plus, we found out that some Denny's have a special "Truckers Meal", and that this Denny's is the one that prints up the "buy six get one free" cards. If that weren't enough, the lobby reeked of pot smoke.
• WAY: No
• Free Stuff: "Truckers Meal" Card, Autographed Picture of some famous race-car driver

• What we ate: P7A77 - Chocolate Shake, John - Chocolate Shake, J-R - Choclate Sundae, Aaron - Vanilla Shake, Kasey - Vanilla Shake with Barq's Root Beer
• They seemed quite happy and eager to see us there. We found out later (while we were leaving) that the N. Baltimore Denny's phoned ahead and warned them that there was "a bus full of hippies" arriving. A fun time was had by all, and Chris (the cute supervisor) seemed quite amused. He even came in Das Büs for a photo (but, alas, he would not come with us). It should be noted here that Chris is only 19 years old, and he's already flyin' all around the country to open new Denny's. He's even been paid to go to Florida.
  In the bathroom was written several things, amoung the more interesting being, "Christ is the Answer", "KKK all the Way", and "If you read this, they will come."
  Chris was kind enough to score us all sorts of great Denny's stuff, including a Denny's quick-reference cookbook. Now I can make all my Denny's favourites at home.
  All in all, a fine end to the first Das Büs trip.
