Title: Nostalgic Restorations
Post by: coke_and_stuff on October 25, 2008, 06:02:34 pm
Karen and Randy Mitchell own Nostalgic Restorations. Over the last few years they have become family friends. Randy has been doing all my paint work and his work is amazing. I found this today while searching the net.

Not often people get recognized for the work they do.

Joey,

Very cool article and video.  I liked in the video where he mentions a kid looking at a Coke machine saying "Daddy, what is that?"  The first time my kids vended a Coke out of one of my machines, they tried to turn the cap.  I told them to use the bottle opener and they didn't know what that was.  It is kind of funny how we live in a world of pop tops and twist offs.  Todays generation will ask what a pay phone is???

When my daughter was 12 she didnt know what a phone booth was either. We saw one and she said what the heck is that thing.
Now she points them out in movies and tv.
