There are coffee/espresso kiosks like these in the PNW.
Yea - "Nancy, the Fotomat Girl" radio commercials. I remember one where, after she explained the great holiday deals, an elf asked her if she was "sucking up the eggnog."

Ah yes the memories. Mo mother worked in one for a few years, mostly due to the fact that due to alergies it was the onkly place she could work. Didn't have to worry about other peoples perfumes or people smoking. Yes kids people used to smoke AT work.

I remember taking my photos and buying film at the Fotomat when I was a little girl. Years later, I worked for a mortgage company. While looking through an appraisal on a very high-end house, saw that there was an unattached "workshop" listed. When I flipped the page to the picture, it was an old Fotomat Kiosk in these people's backyard!! I died laughing!! But you know what, I would have one given the chance!!!

I can wait for the pic of thesnowcone, at least until it warms up a bit, but I'm anxiously awaiting the Fotomat shot!
The last one around here was torn down years ago :-(

You ARE going to have to wait for the snowcone, but here is the stand...... This is true small town Texas..... Taylor, Texas.... Our claim to fame is that Rip Torn is from Taylor and Louis Mueller (Louie Miller) Barbecue is the best ever.
