Scenerio 8: The Atomic Age
Jonah’s is a destination for the whole family, showcasing the most popular films of the day - guaranteed to be chock full of the flag-waving principles and American values Junior needs to beat back the subversive attitudes creeping across our borders every day. Bring your snacks, your bottles of Coke, and your father knows best voice. (And if you’re here to make out in the back seat, you’d better be subtle about it.)
Like Socrates, this beatnik hangout has more … let’s call it “inner beauty” than aesthetic appeal. A hotbed of new thought, artistic innovation, political upheaval, and a whole lot of well, actually, the Prison of Socrates serves up decent coffee, decidedly subpar sandwiches, and really, really terrible service. But if you need to be in the room where it happens, this is your spot. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.
Pop in some microwave dinners, get a sitter, and hit the town. Your sharpest moves and biggest smiles are just as much a part of the dress code here as suits and ties and pearls and pumps. There’s nowhere better to show everyone that you’re keeping up with the Joneses - and the mezzanine level makes a pretty good spot for people watching. Or confidential conversations.
If you pretend to like On the Road, you can probably get a job here. But there’s no need to torture yourself if all you want is a book, a high-quality leather journal, or a copy of the newspaper: ignore the snooty staff and root around in the kind-of-sort-of organized inventory at Monzano for your heart’s desire. Yes, there is a restricted section.
This technicolor soda fountain features ketchup-red booths, piles of fries, and the most American dessert of all: apple pie with a nice, thick slice of Tillamook. Get lost in your steady’s eyes over a frothy milkshake, bop around to the flossiest of pop, and just generally get ready for some good, clean fun. Except for your arteries. It’s not good for your arteries.
Whether your car is your pride and joy, your pet project, or simply the technology you rely on to get you and your family out there to contribute to the American economy, its peak efficiency matters - and it should matter to you. The mechanics, detailers, and all-around creative geniuses at the San Lorenzo Garage live to embellish upon the greatest American artform: automotive design. Bring coffee and donuts if you want the deluxe treatment.
The children are our future, and ABHS (go Niners!) is dedicated to turning out good citizens to lead the next generation. But there’s more to school than the three R’s and the pledge of allegiance. Students create their own strata, which manifest in the parking lot after the final bell, and spill over into dances, soda shops, and drive-ins. It can get pretty Golding up in here.
Appearances matter. You represent your family, your community, and your country - and neatness on the outside reflects orderliness of mind and character. Get your hair done, get your nails touched up, and spend a few hours reading a novel, the newspaper, or whatever you want to hide behind a Ladies Home Journal. Get in those few precious minutes of your day when you don’t have to worry about a man giving you his opinion.
The fruits of capitalism stretch out before you, as far as the eye can see: twenty kinds of potato chips, eights varieties of corn flakes, fourteen brands of cream of wheat, and everything you need to make that ham and bananas hollandaise your neighbor trotted out at her last dinner party. Truly, this is what we’re fighting for.
So, how do you know which of those fourteen creams of wheat to feed your precious offspring? Making decisions based on facts can be such a drag. Bokonon exists to help you help yourself, subtly steering you toward what you truly want, deep down. Staffed by those with gifts of rhetoric and persuasion and a firm belief in the marketplace of ideas, Bokonon is the prestige ad firm to which even the government sometimes turns to make sure its most important message comes across clean.
We’re all rooting for them: the cream of the crop, the best and brightest, the heroes who will take us to the moon. We don’t really know what they do, exactly, and they can’t tell us, either. But their triumph will bring about the demise of our enemy across the waves, so we’ll give them whatever they need to come out on top.
The Handy Man's right hand, Swans have everything you need to do-it-yourself. Even the staff expects you to know what you've come for and find what you need all on your own. They're big supporters of that can-do, self-supporting mentality! In fact, don't talk to them at all. Just leave your money in the jar and get out.
A variety store with lots of variety, Ice Nine sells candies, snacks and drink, along with personal hygiene products, small home and garden tools, office supplies, decorations, electronics, garden plants, toys, pet supplies, Penny Dreadfuls/Harlequin Romance books, records, and much much much more!
