"24 Hours at the Golden Apple"

Once I listened to "24 Hours at the Golden Apple," I was impressed by the way everyone knew each other, and how there was such a friendly atmosphere. Most places I have been to around here have good waiters and waitresses, but no one really knows each other, the town is just too big. It was very surprising to hear that some of the customers came there 2-3 times a day, because that is not something one would normally see here. Coming that many times to a restaurant in a big city would be too expensive, but I guess if it was in a small town it would not be so bad. It was just nice to hear that the Golden Apple was a place that people could still feel at home and be with people they like.
In the early morning there was one lady named Kay, who has lived there since she was little. Kay likes to come to the Golden Apple because of the service, but what she talked about in her interview were gays and racism. She said that gays should be treated equally, and that there is still some aspects of racism in the town. She stood out to me the most because she has lived there so long, knows how the town works, and I think the restaurant gives her a sense of equality and happiness. Two other customers that stood out to me were Allison and Danielle, who came to the Golden Apple to wait for friends. They got there at 11:30pm and did not leave until 3:30am. They liked to come to the restaurant because it is a great hang out for all teenagers, but it is also a great way to meet guys. They were very interesting because they did not really order anything, they just wanted their friends to come and hang out. So the Golden Apple not only brings everyone together, but also lets people have a place to get together and just have a good time.
I think we should have more restaurants like the Golden Apple, in this area, because people need to have a chance to mingle and get to know other people. I mean there are clubs and parties, but during the day there is no place where one can just sit, relax, eat and know everyone around you.
