Hamburger Junction
This watercolor by Kirby Vining was one of six childhood memories presented to Theron M. Vining on the occasion of Theron's 72 birthday in 1986. The scene is a now defunct burger joint, Hamburger Junction, then in Carney, MD. Four years younger than Kirby, my own memories of Hamburger Junction in the very early 1960's are less vivid than my brother's. But I do recall the wonder of a burger delivered to your table by electric train. This may partly explain my affection for a good burger to this day.
