Looks like a nice diner to me. They don't have to be run-down shacks. On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 11:49 PM, William Robb war...@gmail.com wrote: - Original Message - From: Daniel J.

Re: Loukas' Diner
You have a point there. Out-of-towners are much more likely to stop at this diner than the run-down ones to the west or even cute little Genie's Wienies. But the way, the name of this establishment is Loukas' Last American Diner. Dan M On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 11:52 PM, David Parsons parsons.da...@gmail.com wrote: Looks like a nice diner to me.
