Feb 15-22nd

A good week at RoadsideFans. Something that went under the radar was the opening of the Elizaville Diner, the day before the big snowstorm on the East Coast. Elizaville is located off of US Rt 9, between Red Hook and Hudson, NY. The diner is the former Eat Well Diner of Lebanon, PA. Go to www.elizavillediner.com for more info.

Moondance Diner to leave us. I never posted the link last time around.

I'm quite late in answering your query - but we drove US 1 between
Miami & Key West twice (in late 1993 & early 1995) and it was most
definitely worth doing (in fact, we look forward to doing it again
someday). There are good places to stop and eat the famous conch
("konk") chowder & key lime pie (we tried our luck each time & in
each direction and we were never disappointed). The scenery was very
pretty and relaxing all along the route.

A book was recommended on US 1. "It's called The Great American
Road Trip by Peter Genovese."

"Shirley D's diner in Manchester, NH is up for sale. I believe this is a Worcester diner, but it has been renovated so much over the years that I am not sure how much of the original diner is left."
Asking price is $330,000,

This weeks question of the week:
I'm taking a trip to the Poconos this October. I haven't been there for over 15 years and my husband has never been. I used to go every summer with my family back in the 1970's. I used to love going to the Pioneer diner and on the Alpine Slide and Kallie's Candy Kitchen. But, I'm sure its changed a lot. Does anyone have any recommendations of what is worth seeing there now that isn't too over commercialized? We'll be staying in the Camelback/ Mount Pocono area.
(reply on the list for all of us to enjoy!)
