This postcard sold on eBay back in 2007. After a bit of research at that point, it looked like the diner was still there. But this was pre-blog, pre-facebook, so I made a note of it, burned the ebay image to a disc and pretty well forgot about it. I was going through today looking for barrel roof pics on my external hard drive and found the photo again. Not the best copy of it, unfortunately, but it’s the only one I’ve seen of this PC. The diner is still there, as is the gas station building, located at 3403 Conowingo Road. It looks like the cabins are gone.
Unfortunately it’s not a “real” diner, but you can definitely see the influence.
