February 8-14th


Someone recommended the travel book series put out by Moon Books http://www.moon.com


The Bluebird II Diner north of Scranton, on US 6 and 11 sports a new roof. Bluebird II a couple of years ago, had a rather uninspiring parapet wall shielding the roof from view, now it has a "spiffy new blue metal roof"


Manhattan is to lose to Moondance Diner. So get there before it closes and gets demolished.

"On-Site Diner" to reopen.

The former Green Mountain Diner and lastly known as the Farmer's Diner. This on-site diner is reopening as "The Pit Stop", owned by Cheyenne Roberts


One of the major "fake diner" chains, Johnny Rockets, will get a major expansion push if the owner of the Washington Redskins has his way. Growing the chain to 1000 units is envisioned, but keep in mind all the chains that expanded rapidly, and crashed and burned even more rapidly.


People commented about Sweet Potato french fries. Some people like them, some don't.


A question was asked.

Q: Any suggestions on sights to see along the Lincoln Highway across Nebraska?
