The Downtown Diner
The Downtown Diner is a nostalgic restaurant located in downtown Granite City Illinois.  Moreover, this place has an excellent location just down the road and near a local movie theater.
Furthermore, specific food items on the menu are familiar to citizens like me who attended Granite City School District 9.  I personally acquired a taste for and looked forward to the square pizza when I was a kid. Moreover, I had no shame dipping it in ketchup. I like my fries with ketchup too.
Encouraging Creative Marketing Strategies
The Downtown Diner used a common social media marketing strategy to boost awareness of and engagement with their business, and at little cost to them. For instance, what they did was make a post offering citizens an opportunity to win a strawberry shortcake dessert just by liking and sharing their post. As an already experienced customer I was delighted to engage in their marketing strategy! The dessert was free, but I went as a paying customer.
 I Liked And Shared This Post For A Chance To Win This Delicious Dessert.
 And Won The Sweet Treat!
 Cerise & Taylor Were The Waitresses Who Tended To Me Upon Entry. They Were Cheerful and Very Polite!

Moreover, the dessert was free, but I still became a paying customer. Additionally, I did research and found interesting background information about the owner. Her name is Brenda Whitaker.  I learned that before investing her savings back into the economy, she spent “fifteen years earning her keep as a coil operator” at one of the steel mills Granite City is most famously known for. – National Public Radio.
