Description
“Well, it’s one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, cat go
But don’t you
Step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything
But stay off of my blue suede shoes …”
“Blue Suede Shoes”
~ Written & recorded by Carl Perkins
~ 1955
~ Recorded by the great Elvis Presley
~ 1956
The King of Rock’n’Roll and The King of Country meet as a young Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash pose for a 1950s snapshot showcased on the wall of Charlotte Fay’s Main Street Diner, Slatington, Pennsylvania.
Elvis Presley’s “Blue Suede Shoes” may well be one of the hits you hear playing at Charlotte Fay’s, where retro is king at this cool and cozy eatery.
The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll is well represented at Charlotte Fay’s, joined by photos spotlighting retro icons such as Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean in the 1956 film “Giant,” Marilyn Monroe and Route 66. There’s also a nod to the New Jersey Seashore and Steel Pier. The large map depicts President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, championed by the then-president when it was formed June 29, 1956.
And of course there’s the tasty food, wonderful to nosh on as you drink in the nostalgic atmosphere. Owner Jason Ruff named the diner after both his great-grandmothers, and uses their recipes.
The menu and atmosphere are the perfect mix to stir up a recipe for success fit for a king.

Love this! I listen to a Sydney radio station on the internet that plays the sixties, seventies and some of the eighties music. I know now that Elvis is still alive and well in Australia! They also play some Johnny Cash.
