Artist's Description
Something of a sentimental look back on yesteryear. As far as I have been able to determine, the City Cafe advertised on this vintage roadside attraction is also a thing of the past. Apparently, though, it was the best place to eat in Monroe, North Carolina circa 1929.
This is based off a black and white photo my grandfather, Charles Edward Wilson, Sr, took. He wasn't a professional photographer but a decent number of photos of his have made their way to me. Most, of course, are close family and friends, but they all have that sense of the 1920s and 30's a time period when he seems to have often had a camera near at hand.
The dapper couple in the 1920's garb standing beneath the giant coffee pot, are, I'm afraid a mystery. I'd feel fairly certain he counted them as either friends or family, but no one I've spoken to has been able to identify them.

About Mark Tisdale
Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist. That was five years ago! Is it easy? No, but something truly worthwhile is rarely simple. My body of work is wide ranging from photographic scenes of far away places, more near and dear locations, and more fanciful artwork. It's all crafted with a heartfelt love for finding the beauty in little captured moments. My artwork also hangs on walls near and far from private homes to businesses who have chosen to decorate with my art. Whether you've purchased one piece or a house full or you simply admire and share with your friends, your patronage of my art is...

A quick glance at the image had me wondering how I had missed this all the times i have been in Monroe. Reading the caption, now I see! Great image and a wonderful look back in time!
Mark Tisdale replied:
Thanks Joseph! And glad for confirmation that the City Cafe appears to be a part of the past. I knew I could find no evidence it still existed when I searched online. :-)
