Talk about a great (and huge) neon sign. Nice to see parts of it still working. This pic was in with shots from Ohio, PA and WV. Not sure what town it was taken in, unfortunately.

Since last visit, the owners have replaced signage, revealing the barrel roof underneath. The 80-some year old car has seen better days, but still serves up a damn good meal.

The wireless I’ve found here in the woods by Sabbathday lake here in Gray/ New Gloucester, Maine is dicey to put it lightly, so I can’t upload my usual millions of photos. I may have internet by friday so I’ll put up the full story then.

Yesterday we hit the New Ideal Diner, the former Aberdeen Eagle (need to check what the new name is), the Sandy Hook in CT, the Blue Colony, Rajun Cajun in CT, and met up with Larry Cultrera of Diner Hotline fame for dinner. Today I made a stop at Cole Farms and had some red hots and fresh corn on the cob for dinner with a beautiful view of the lake.

Here’s a shot from yesterday.

This one is attached to a shopping center, but does sport a diner tag.

Then there was the Vincent Diner, an older Monitor Roof model. The Fairfax Blvd. Master Plan says” Vincent’s Diner, constructed
in 1952 is one of the most significant and revered historic landmarks”. Doesn’t look 1952 to me.
