The Top Notch Lunch, Great Falls, Montana
With a fabulous 3D neon sign and a bank of stools, how could I stay away from this charming lunch counter?
Just around the corner from the Sip and Dip / O’Hare’s Motor Inn, I met Beth Lennon of Retro Roadmap and Cliff Hillis here for a chicken fried steak, to recover from the previous night’s fishbowl (more on that later) and to stoke up for what would prove to be a long day of thrifting.

White Tower Sign
I made the drive down from Maryland to Midlothian VA today to pick this up.
This neon sign was previously mounted on Richmond White Tower No. 1, which was located at 223 East Grace Street. It was originally built in 1939, and remodeled in 1960, which is probably when this sign was installed. The building is still there. It’s been de-towered, and painted, but it’s still recognizable.
Neon Sign
Here’s a recent addition to the collection- just arrived today.
This sign came off the Lincoln Diner in Chambersburg, PA. The diner itself is now long since gone.
If any of you out there have a picture of the Lincoln Diner, I’d love to see it!
The Penn Diner – New York City
I just got this (probably) 1950s slide of New York City’s Penn Diner. It replaced an older barrel roof model, but the neon transferred. The caption on the slide is in Japanese.
Morin’s Castle Hamburgers – New Orleans, LA
Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA. Signage is very similar to what Little Tavern was using in the late 1920s.
Night Neon
The 5th Street Diner, Temple PA. Replaced a Silk City
Dead Neon
Rusting away in an alley. I’d love to see this restored and back in front of the diner.
