Diner #36-40

Lets take a look at five more diners.

This Worcester diner in Spencer, Massachusetts is one I wish I got to more.  This is an old time diner where there are not booths for four, but tables for two along the windows.  The Kenmore Diner was serving swedish meatballs on the day I stopped in.  Something I do not get often, but they were especially good on that day.  The diner sits on the edge of the main business section in Spencer.  i often go past this diner, but I am either heading somewhere else, or the diner is closed for the day.

I am giving a rare interior shot instead of the typical exterior shot for Heisey's Diner just north of Lebanon, Pennsylvania on PA Rt 72.  The exterior, of what you can see is in good shape, but it has a new roof, and a good sized brick foyer so that you can get an entire shot of the diner.  I somehow doubt this O'Mahony diner originally came with a wood (formica  / laminate??) counter.  Otherwise, the diner is mostly original, and the food is a good mix of diner and Pennsylvania Dutch.  This is another diner which I would like to get back to more, and have only eaten at once, but passed more than once.

 the shot isn't the best, because the look of the diner isn't the best.  Supposedly there was a real diner here at one time, but it was butchered so much, that it now looks like this.  This would be Curley's Diner in downtown Stamford, Connecticut.  The interior of the diner also bears no resemblance to an authentic diner.  Going entirely off memory, I think this was originally a Mountain View diner.

The fourth diner would go nicely with our last photo.  I swear this used to be a nicely looking Starlite on the outside, but then the owners of the hotel next door bought the diner and remodeled the exterior to match the hotel.  so if you want to know what the hotel looks like, here you go.  At least the interior is quite original to a Starlite. The diner is the Pine Island Diner in Corolla, North Carolina which is a little north of Kill Devil Hills on the coast.

I've eaten at all five of the diners on this list today, though the food at George & Sally's Blue Moon Diner.  The Silk City diner is more of a showpiece at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan, but they do serve a few food items, like hot dogs.  The waitresses dress up in that lovable 50s style.  Steve Harwin restored this diner, and it was sold to the museum and sits not too far from a restored Shell gas station.
