I was sent these photos of Steffen’s Diner by its owner, Steffen Waber of Switzerland.

It’s a converted bus, similar to a lunch wagon in concept. From the photos, it looks to be popular to the biker crowd.

I was sent these pictures by my old man, who visited on Friday.
The Frazer diner is a 1935 O’Mahony, originally located in and named the Paoli diner. (Paoli is also the home of the Philadelphia curling club, where I’ve spent a lot of time). It was moved in 1957 to its current location, just down the road, in Frazer. It was renovated/restored in 2002.
A photo of it before the work was done, showing the old awnings, can be found at:

The Charcoal Pit- original location – North Wilmington
The Charcoal Pit Tradition dates back to September 1956 when it first opened its doors. The “Pit” – referred to by loyal customers, became such an instant success that only after three months from the grand opening, it was decided to build more room for its long line of hungry customers. The “Pit” went from a small four table and a counter burger joint to a 115 customer-seating establishment.
It appears it used to be red.

And, going past it today, I found that the Quincy’s neon is gone.


Quincy’s Restaurant. Newer neon, it looks like, but a nice one. The restaurant is about to be replaced by another. We’ll see what happens to the sign.

Not particularly old or special, but this just caught my eye.
