When you step into the Happy Burger Diner in the historic gateway town of Mariposa, you're taking a step back into the Golden Oldies era. With musical hits from bygone years filling the air, along with the smell of down-home food, much of the ceiling space and an interior wall are adorned with record album covers, lots of them -- maybe as many as 250. So if you want to check out what Perry Como looked like in his early days -- or maybe even Dolly Parton -- Happy Burger is the spot for nostalgia and also for classic burgers, cheeseburgers and fries.
