Color image of Ken's Place restaurant at Pine Point Beach near Scarborough, Maine. Restaurant sign reads: "Fried Clams, Clam Cakes, and Lobsters." Likely new when the photo was taken- Ken's Place epitomized the late 1950s and early '60s modern roadside eatery catering to locals and tourists alike. The small, informal facility serving fried food and surrounded by a copious, paved parking lot was the precursor to present-day fast food joints.
