Love it.

The Stranger recently interviewed Neko Case about her youth in Tacoma (onetime home to yours truly) and Seattle:

For a stretch, she lived down the street from the Frisko Freeze in Tacoma. She raves about the cheeseburgers and fries, but recounts that they didn’t employ women, at least when she used to eat there on a regular basis before moving away in 1994. She explains, “I actually asked for a job once, and they told me to my face, ‘We don’t hire women.’ I almost put on a corset and took to the streets! Burger suffrage! Weird. They have a shrimpwich, but I dare not taste it.”

Thanks to Megan for the tip.

Oh. My. God.

My dad once told as about a great burger spot in them olden days of our home town. It didn’t employ women either, which made it awesome, according to my dad at least. The crux of this paternal-folklore was that the place went down the gutter as soon as the ‘feminists’ forced their way in with all their rights and stuff.
