Once in a while, you'll discover a place where everyone doesn't have to know your name to make you feel like you're at home. But in this friendly Caddo county town, along Highway 8, there is one thing that rubs everyone the wrong way. It's the fact that their town probably has the most mispronounced name in the entire state. Mayor Barthel says they took the first syllable of their last names and put them together to form the town's name. Once you get the name down, the place to down some grub is, of course, the Small Town Diner, where every day's special.
Diner regulars say the place is like a big family.
People come in and tell each other what they're doing that day and what is going on with their lives. It's a way to keep up with the whole community. The diner's owner says the guys gather here and have their lunch. They may stay an hour or two just talking, laughing and having fun. The piles and sorters in the nuthouse are shelling out a living for local Lookebans, who encourage everyone to buy peanuts, peanut butter and peanut candy bars to help keep the local economy going.
