I’ve been working on moving the contents of all my old photo CDs over to my external hard drive and have been finding some gems, older photos that haven’t seen the light of day in almost 15 years.

Here are some shots from Aberdeen’s early 1950s O’Mahony, the New Ideal, taken in March of 2004, when it was still open. Unfortunately, this large diner, formerly a Rt. 40 favorite, has been closed since 2011.

Boy, don’t I look happy (and look how young I was!)
