The Last American Diner, formerly of Boulder, CO. It is a sad
but true fact that this ironically named structure is no longer standing. Matty Leighton a former employee of the
Last American writes:" The LA Diner was torn down because the proprietors did
not own the building, and it was unfortunately located in an area of Boulder
which is prime commercial real estate. The owners of the land sold it to
Soundtrack, which thoughtfully built an enormous purple 'superstore,' blocking
the lovely view of the mountains which was visible over the Diner's somewhat
bizarre facade. Final day of operation was June 23, 1996. Demolition took
place July 8-9." |
The Forked River Diner, sent to me by C. Schiotz. He exclaims, "best
clam chowder, worst homefries, OK coffee, super service." |
The Amwell Diner, on Route 31. Thanks to Chris Schiotz for sending me the
picture. |
Susie and Mike in front of the Pig 'n' Whistle which is
inexplicibly closed on a Friday night. |

Wes, Erick, Antonio, and Oleg heading into the Middlesex Diner.
Note: I wouldn't recommend this move to everyone! |
The Colts Neck Diner, which operated in the 60s. This image
was sent to me by Mary Lukowski, whose father apparently owned the
place. |
I got this note from Dan: This is the old BOBs Diner from
Rt. 30 in Colombia Pa. I purchased it in early 1992 and have it shipped and
storage on my property in Southern Maryland. Its a 1947 Mountain View Diner and
in excellent condition...maybe some day I'll open it up if I find a spot. Till
then its a great Sunday morning retreat with a hot CUP of Joe!!! Keep up the
Good Work.......Dan |
The inside of Bob's Diner. |
The Diner on the Square in Philadelphia. I was never
particularly fond of the place, but I didn't wish it any real harm. Now,
alas, it's closed for good. |
The Silver Diner in Arlington, VA. I went down to this place
with Matty and her roommate, Kathy, during my extended stay at NASA. Nice
place, and Kathy found the waiter utterly dreamy. |
The Suffolk Diner outside of Boston. This was one of the many
places at which Susie, Mike, and I tried unsuccessfully to eat.
