Restaurant-U.S. 1 Leaving Columbia, South Carolina
1955

A vintage black and white photo of a cozy interior with a small dining table and chairs in the foreground and an old-fashioned television set broadcasting a man's face in the background. A bright window with a checkered curtain is on the right, and a fan and potted plants sit on a sideboard to the left. The room is bathed in soft light, creating a nostalgic atmosphere.
