Brings back memories of being a little kid and thinking those diners are big then going back as an adult and realizing how small they are.

Some really good food to be had in those diners. I always attributed it to the age of the grease in the fryers and the patina on the grill.

Dear zeawolves77:
Would you like photos of existing Diners here in the US for reference I do drive by some and taking photos is no problem to do several views?
I would like to try making your dinner also. I can PM you my E-mail adress.
Thanks,
Miles

I can't make up my mind if the windows need to be populated with characters from American Graffiti or Happy Days, but whatever, I guess the Fonz will always win, eh?

Reminds me a bit of Pretville - a South African musical (recent) but set in the 50's .

Pretville still exists - they basically did up a small town a bit and then left it. Leastwise I assume it still does!

They are stll many buldings a la '50's in South Africa - in all the small toiwns or dorps.

Have a look at the video here (nice catchy song by the way) which shows Pretville - all the businesses are real ones, current and operating. Noe the buildings as well - most of which are originals with little alternations done.

@Kevin WS: thanks for the information, too bad I cannot open the video here at office (will anxiously check it out later at home).
