    Watching the Filming of The Mentalist!

    Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I’m not sure what it is about old school diners, but I sure have an affinity for them.  My inclination maybe stems from memories of childhood road trips or weekend mornings spent at greasy spoons with my parents during my early years or my nostalgic nature in general.  Whatever the cause, if I see…
