Owing to its German-sounding name, the hamburger was called “Liberty Steak” by the Americans during WWII.

Apart from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, had the U.S. wanted to drop a third atom bomb on Japan, Tokyo was to be the target. However, Japan surrendered before that, on Aug. 15, 1945.

These two remind me of a story:

A few years ago Pontiac enthusiast Jeff Denison got together a couple fellow Judge owners for a photo shoot at a fairly famous coney island restaurant on Woodward.

They closed the restaurant down, covered over the stripes, wet down the pavement and positioned the cars for the shoot.

While they were working a lady stopped by and attempted to enter the restaurant. When Jeff informed her the restaurant was closed she started to get belligerent.

"I'm trying to get inside to eat" she said.

"I'm sorry - the restaurant is closed" Jeff replied. "We are doing a photo shoot for a calendar".

"But - there's people in there"....

"Those are 'actors'". Jeff explained that in order to make it appear more authentic they placed a couple of spectators, vehicle owners and their kids inside.

After a couple more volleys the lady finally stormed off. "Geez" she said "I just wanted a damn coney!
