The Little Nugget


        My adventure in mapping out locations from Northline led me to lunch at the Nugget. After going to spin class with my girlfriend Demi Cole we went to lunch at the diner. It was a pretty horrible day to walk down there because the wind was relentless. It cut through my body. It reminds me of when Allison felt the cold weather of Reno for the first time. Anyways the burger was great here is a picture of me eating it!!!




            I tried to imagine Allison and Penny eating dinner inside the Nugget on the little stools. Penny would probably almost break the stools. The burger was great and it definitely is one of the "greatest burgers" like Penny said. No one really strikes me as a Penny or Allison type in the Diner when I was there for lunch. Everyone seems like tourist going there to eat the Awful Awful burger which won some award on food network. The diner advertises the heck out of it. That burger is probably one of the main reasons the whole casino is still in business.
            The conversation that Penny and Allison have here is about relationships. Penny talks about here unfortunate relationship where she ends up horribly obese by the end of it. This makes it kind of ironic that they are eating the Awful Awful which is a pretty large burger. Penny hates what she has become but has just dropped into a rut of acceptance. I think that Penny acts as an example of what life can do to a person if that person doesn't fight for what they want. Penny encourages Allison to go get her GED and then go to college. To Allison college is almost unattainable. Yet Penny has no goals except to get fatter. Penny goes to food to make herself happier and cope with life while Allison goes to alcohol. It is clear that if Allison keep going to alcohol for comfort she is going to kill herself.  I can imagine Allison a super skinny girl that looks like she needs a good home and more sleep. Allison describes here awkward relationship with a video store nerd in high school. It seems unhealthy and not normal. This relationship demonstrates that Allison started dating on a bad note and was not hanging around the right guys, but it is not like her mom was a positive role model.
