Here is a little pocket/wallet calendar card for 1963 promoting The Top Hat Diner of Kingston, PA. Now defunct, this place was very popular in its time.
Progress or regress, the site is now a parking lot :(

My grandfather owned a diner in West Springfield, Massachusetts called Charlie's Diner located an 218 Union St. I go nuts over old diners! LOVE IT!! Great post Ted! =)
Hi, tom….thanks for the interesting comments, esp. with regard to your Uncle's diner!
I love the diners, too! there are still a # of them around here…the north eastern part of Pennsylvania. I should photograph some of them before they are all packed up an shipped away to out of state locations, or worse yet, end up in diner Heaven :(
Thanks, again, tom...glad to hear that we share such mutual interests!
As an aside, flickr has # of groups featuring such items. Not A Chain Restaurant USA is one, and Vanishing America is another that comes to mind…I am sure that there are others, also….
Take care, my friend…..
Good afternoon, ho2cultcha…thank you very much for the love of this item….
I love diners and it is sad so many of these are gone now . Great post and I can smell the fries cooking from diner from here ! :-)
Thank you, Manikin! Yes, diners have always had a sway on me, too. Whether in town or on the road, I look for diners. With alternatives like that, who needs a fast food drive in?
