The "American Diner" seems a vanishing breed; that you have so many
in your area seems amazing. Your project to capture them while
they're still available is a brilliant idea.
While they may be dying in the north, new ones are being built and
opened in the South. There are a couple of franchise outfits opening
them - 5 & Diner and Shiny Diner I think.
Shiny Diner is from the same folks who originally took the Hardee's
chain nationwide.
