Hit this up over the weekend with some friends, after prom. Highlight of the night. I was the one with the camera, so no shots of me, unfortunately. '30s diner built by O'Mahony. Still very original. Very fun place to be late at night.

Cindy's Diner located in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. Their motto is "Serving the whole world . . .15 at a time." Although only open till 2pm they serve about the best breakfast in town as well as burgers, fries and malts.

Another great diner, just up the road from here, is The South Side Soda Shop and Diner located in Goshen, IN. They serve homemade sandwiches, salads, desserts, and offer over fifty varieties of pie. They are best known for their famous Chili and Green Rivers.

Back in July it was featured on the Food Network show "Diner's, Drive-In's, and Dives".

That's about fifteen minutes from my wife's grandparents' house in Sturgis, MI. When we found out about it via Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives we declared that we won't go visit them again without checking it out.

Hit up this one today, the Silver diner of Rockville. One of the first modern diners built in the old style. This one actually nailed the look pretty well. After this, they got a little cartoon-y.

We ate in this 1939 diner this past weekend. It's the Emerald Diner in Hubbard, Ohio. Great food and this diner is in great shape.

The 29 diner in Fairfax, VA. Used to be part of the local Tastee Diner chain. The AC broke a little before we got there, but with the ceiling fans and a box fan at one end, it wasn't bad at all. The food at the 29 is fantastic, great juicy, melty cheeseburgers, crispy fries, and excellent rice pudding.

Does anybody here know if this diner still exists in some form?

The diner on the cover of the album "Abandoned Luncheonette" was formerly the Rosedale Diner located in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. It went out of business and was dumped in a small wooded area located along Route 724 in Kenilworth, PA, where this picture was taken. The diner was there for years until it was basically stripped apart in 1983 by people looking for souvenirs.

The remains were moved from the site shortly thereafter, but where? Just curious.

The true authority on this diner is Larry Cultrera, of the Diner Hotline. You could probably contact him through his blog. As I understand it, there's nothing left.

This is what the Rosedale looked like when new.

My blog has pictures of the (now abandoned) pizza place that the owners of the Rosedale opened, which is situated across the street from the woods where the Rosedale sat when it was photographed for that album.

Thanks for the response Dinerman,

Sad to hear it's disappeared completely, I was hoping at least the shell was somehow saved.

I guess the only fragments left over now reside in the homes of those souvenir hunters.

Just another old diner. So many have disappeared.

The diner was late '40s and built by the Fodero diner company. While that particular one may be gone, there are still a few that are very close still in existence.
