The Rosebud

[richips.livejournal.com]

I believe there was an old film set in the Rosebud diner, right? Which was it?
Is there a whole history somewhere of the place?
my google/goodsearch-fu isn't giving me an answer.
Thanks!

I believe that was Citizen Tom, the epic film about a young man's rise from obscurity to become the powerful and fearsome spokesman for a small New England city.

He used his powerful cat macros to inform the city and spare them ticket/towing costs! His credo "Call 311" will never be forgotten!

Ha!

Were you serious, or is firepail right on the money? leaning towards the latter. Amusing nonetheless.

Please tell me you've heard of Citizen Kane and the importance of the name "Rosebud" to its central mystery!

I know it but have not seen it. I should get on that!

Rosebud is a [censored].

As the real story in regards to Hearst, yes, that should be censored.

How dare you say that about her!

So, seriously, the word "Rosebud" is central to the movie Citizen Kane — but in the movie it's not a diner.

Hmm, thank you.
I think there was a conversation about that, how it's both. Or maybe i've been had. So how long has the Rosebud been around in reality?

1940s I think, but don't hold me to that.

That's what i thought, which is why the comments confused me.
